DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

The study of theater at Wabash combines hands-on work in acting, script analysis, directing, playwrighting, and theater design and technology with the study of dramatic literature and theater history. In the classroom, in the rehearsal studio, behind the camera, and on the stage, our expert faculty guide Wabash students to develop their capacity for critical thinking and artistic creation, to find and refine their talents and abilities, and to prepare for the world outside Wabash – while having a whole lot of fun on the way. Thanks to the generous support of John C. and Diane Schroeder, Wabash theater students take part in various immersion courses, which allow students to see and create theater with theater professionals in New York, Prague, and London. Advanced theater students often participate in research with faculty or study off-campus. In addition to academic work, Wabash Theater annually produces three mainstage productions, as well as the "Studio One-Acts," evenings of new plays written by professional playwrights, and directed and performed by Wabash students. The Scarlet Masque, Wabash's student theater organization, fosters the creation of theater and film by Wabash students: performances and screenings of student creative work are held at the end of every semester. All members of the community – regardless of major, background, or previous experience – are encouraged to participate.
