Minor in Theatre Arts


You love to tell stories, connect with audiences and collaborate with others to create something that impacts the heart and the mind. You’ll do that and more as a student in the theatre program at Palm Beach Atlantic University. The purpose of the theatre program is to train students in the development of imaginative, purposeful, and skilled expression in the theatre, as well as provide for their artistic, intellectual and spiritual growth. At PBA, you'll enhance your acting skills for both stage and screen, and musical theatre, preparing you for a successful career. PBA theatre majors spend between 65-66 credit hours in their concentration, which enables us to offer more extensive and specialized B.A. training than is generally available at other universities. From major theatre, TV and film production in South Florida to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and TV production in Orlando, the state of Florida has enormous hiring opportunities for actors.
