BA Theatre Program

The Bachelor of Arts is a flexible liberal arts degree offering an extensive knowledge of theatre arts. The program, offering a balance of theatre core classes and electives, allows students the freedom to design their own curriculum. This is an ideal program for a student with multiple interests in theatre. In a given semester, the School of Theatre offers classes in performance, directing, various aspects of design and technical work, specific areas of theatre history and performance studies, dramaturgy, theatre management, playwriting, play analysis, and stage makeup. BA students may blend theatre training with a different academic pursuit by minoring or double-majoring in such areas as English, Humanities, Education, or other disciplines offered at FSU. BA students take an active part in production work. Students interested in performing can audition for roles in any of our productions. Students can also be involved as stage managers and can participate in various production assignments and tech crews.

London Theatre Program

The undergraduate program also offers students to attend our London Theatre Program! Perhaps no other college or university has a finer London Study Center than Florida State University. Our theatre students work with some of England’s best teachers and artists as well as with faculty from the Tallahassee campus. They attend theatre every week (some attend every day) and visit other countries during their breaks. Studying theatre in London is an extraordinary experience.
