Musical Theatre

Bachelor of Arts

Michael Flowers, Program Coordinator

The musical theatre major provides students with a combination of courses in dance,

music, and theatre that is intended to prepare them for careers as performers in musical

theatre. Given its emphases on acting, ballet, voice, piano, jazz, and music theory, the

musical theatre major is more specialized than the theatre major, and faculty members

will offer students guidance at the end of the sophomore year on whether the musical

theatre degree or theatre degree is the most appropriate program.

Upon completion of the musical theatre major, students will be able to

integrate musical analysis and performance

perform acting goals and tactics

function as a member of an ensemble

execute theatre designs using appropriate technology
