Theatre Arts majors follow a program based on growth beginning with foundation courses and culminating with a senior project. Courses will be taken from the following progression of blocks: The Foundation Block provides incoming students a broad, durable foundation of introductory courses. ■ The Development Block contains the majority of a student's course work. By developing skills and knowledge in the areas of acting, directing, design, technology, management, history and literature, students get a well rounded education. Out of this block students will select an area of emphasis in: a) acting/ directing, b) design/tech, c) management, or d) history/ literature. A The Pinnacle Block provides a comprehensive, focused experience for theatre majors in their junior and senior years. These courses have prerequisites which require completion of the Development Block requirements. O The Integrated Studies Rationale reinforces the major by developing connections with other disciplines. Students are asked to recognize connections between their major and 9 hours of courses outside theatre arts in a written rationale. • The Production Supplement courses use plays and musicals from the theatre arts season as a studio for training. Through these courses students can develop necessary skills for the theatre profession or for careers which value creativity and discipline. This course of study leads toward the bachelor of arts degree. A minimum of sixty (60) credit hours (2.0 or better GPA) must be completed in Theatre Arts area courses. Teaching majors must complete a minimum of fifty-nine (59) credit hours (2.0 or better GPA) from the Theatre Arts courses and, in addition, satisfy all requirements for the Certification Program as outlined by the School of Education. While teaching majors are encouraged to pursue the bachelor of arts degree, they may choose either the bachelor of arts or the bachelor of science degree. All majors are encouraged to seek summer employment in stock or repertory companies relating to their interests. Weber State Theatre Season The yearly theatrical season normally includes productions mounted in the Monson, Allred, and Austad theatres. Because of these superior theatre facilities, a wide variety of theatre is produced in proscenium and flexible situations. During the Browning Center renovation, performances will be presented in a variety of local venues. The theatre season is offered by the Department of Performing Arts as part of the Performing Arts Series. Because the season is generously supported by the Associated Students of Weber State through student fees, students receive substantial discounts for performances. The Utah Musical Theatre The Utah Musical Theatre provides the focal point for exciting summer musical theatre in the western region. It is a semiprofes- sional summer company comprised of theatre artists from coast to coast, with paid positions open for staff, crew, and cast.
