Theatre Arts
What makes the Department of Theatre Arts so special?
We offer an exciting, rigorous pre-professional training program that emphasizes
two things: the practical aspects of theatre and the importance of process. With
the belief that theatre is both an art form and a business, our curriculum provides
a strong undergraduate foundation in theatre performance, design, production and
literature.
How have LC theatre graduates succeeded professionally?
Nationally and internationally, our Theatre Arts graduates have worked as professional
actors, stage managers, producers, technicians and designers at Imagination Stage
in Washington, D.C., The Chicago Kids Company, The Arkansas Repertory Theatre,
Asolo Repertory Theatre, The Papermill Theatre, TheatreWorks Singapore and The
California Theatre Center.
In Atlanta, our graduates have worked at Actor's Express, 7Stages, Horizon Theatre
and the Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts.
Are theatre arts scholarships available?
Over a dozen scholarships are awarded annually to those who qualify, including
the Evelyn Powell Hoffman Drama Scholarship, awarded each year to promising freshmen.
Deserving upperclassmen may receive the prestigious William Hearnburg Endowed Theatre
Achievement Scholarship, the Max Estes Drama Scholarship or the Mamie Lark Henry
