Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts
Program Overview
A degree in theatre arts prepares students for performances and technical production in live theatre, film, television and multimedia. California Lutheran University’s Theatre Arts and Dance Department offers a series of fundamental and advanced courses in theatre performance, design and technology, music theatre, and dance. Students have numerous opportunities to participate in its Mainstage, Blackbox and Film and Video productions.
An average of four major live theatre productions, including musicals, are staged each year, along with performance opportunities in Improvisational Theater, original films and videos and the student-produced Blackbox series. Dance performances provide student dancers opportunities to showcase their talent. Students are encouraged to take positions of responsibility in all areas of production including publicity, sound, light, makeup, scene and costume design.
Every theatre arts major has the opportunity to direct or design a play production on campus. Cal Lutheran students have brought home national and regional awards from the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival. Students are encouraged to work as professional theatre interns during the summer with Camp Shakespeare and the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company, a professional theatre company performing on campus. Students also intern at local art centers like the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. The University’s close proximity to Los Angeles provides an arena for students to explore a variety of screen, stage, television and musical presentations and connections with industry professionals.
Many Cal Lutheran theatre arts graduates have achieved careers in the competitive world of professional theatre, film, and television. The theatre arts curriculum also provides practical performance, management, communication, and work skills that relate to many other career fields. Cal Lutheran theatre arts graduates have been accepted into graduate theatre programs at universities throughout the United States.
