DEGREES OFFERED

Minor in Theatre


All plays at Wesleyan focus on strong roles for women. Women do all the backstage and technical work, unlike at a coed school, where men often take those jobs. Students intern outside the college at local and national theatres. By graduation, a theatre student has built a powerful resume. The Wesleyan theatre minor teaches transferable skills that are valuable to employers. Theatre graduates have excellent ability in oral communication. They solve multiple real-world problems with creative thought. Students learn to respect others, to take constructive criticism, and they gain appreciation for diversity. Working on plays calls for promptness, dedication, and the ability to work under pressure. Studying theatre opens the mind and reveals our shared humanity. Wesleyan students and faculty get frequent recognition for their excellent work from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.
