Acting, B.F.A.

About the Program

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting is an intensive four-year sequential course of study in acting, the speaking voice, speech, movement, stage combat, dramatic literature and the history of the theater. Students complete the program’s core curriculum to gain a broad understanding of the art form of theater, while also receiving focused and intensive training and mentorship to develop the skills an actor needs in the professional world.

The first few years of training focus on the development of the actor’s imagination and an exploration of the inner resources as they relate to the external demands of the craft. During the fourth year, students actively prepare for a life in the business by crafting resumes and websites; by honing audition skills and by receiving feedback from industry professionals.  B.F.A. candidates have multiple opportunities to be engaged in rehearsal and public performance through our season productions.
