Theatre Major
The theatre program at WWU will train you in all aspects of theatre, focusing on performance,
theatre technology and musical theatre. We also offer theatre education to prepare
future drama teachers. Even as a freshman, you have opportunities for immediate main
stage experience because we show no preferences in casting. You gain valuable experience
in four main stage productions, student laboratory productions and other performance/technical
opportunities. You will get to work with a variety of guest directors and designers.
The theatre major balances a strong academic program with a co-curricular production
season and an annual portfolio review. Minors available include theatre and music.
