About the course
The A.B. in Theatre at the University of Georgia is designed to provide an introduction to the various facets of the theatrical experience.
Students complete a core of theatre courses including acting, design, play analysis, and theatre history. Supplemental applied drama courses provide students with actual working theatre knowledge in costuming, stagecraft, box office, and promotion. The program produces courageous students who have a wide range of abilities, are comfortable working as a team, can think on their feet, analyze situations thoroughly, communicate effectively, and work well under pressure. NOTE: no auditions are necessary for entrance into the theatre major, but upper-level performance electives require a juried audition.
Many graduates pursue advanced study in theatre, acting, directing, design, playwriting, business, law, telecommunications, and others. Alumni have jobs in a wide range of fields, including acting (e.g. Wayne Knight, Kyle Chandler, and IronE ‘T-Dog’ Singleton of “Walking Dead” fame), Hollywood set dressing, stuntmen, arts administration, costume design, entertainment marketing, and visual effects.
