The objectives of the program are to: 1) Encourage participation in and appreciation of theatre and drama; 2) Foster creativity and develop technical skills in acting, directing, costuming, scenic design, script writing and theatre management; 3) Prepare students for careers or professional schooling in those fields which require strong presentational skills, creative problem solving, effective collaboration, and an understanding of human experience. As shown in the figure below, theatre students must complete a sequence of formal course work that includes University general education, core theatre courses, and focus or specialty courses. Formal course work is complemented by a sequence of experiential learning opportunities in the theatre. Students and faculty develop individualized programs of course work and practical experience, including a junior seminar, annual juries, portfolio preparation, various practica, and opportunities for individual theatre projects. Study of theatre provides students with useful tools to contribute to and make positive changes in society. Theatre students learn about diverse historical eras, communities and technologies. Theatre challenges students to be creative and to translate that creativity into applied processes - to think precisely, speak confidently in public, work productively with others, visualize abstract concepts and 131 represent those concepts concretely. Theatre skills are useful in a variety of professions including, but not limited to, business, government, law, journalism, and public relations. Major Requirements The department offers Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in Musical Theatre, Theatre Arts, and Theatre Teaching. A minimum of 38 course units (2.0 or better GPA) of Theatre Arts courses must be completed to qualify for either program. Teaching majors must also satisfy all requirements for the Certification Program as outlined by the College of Education. Teaching majors may choose either B.A. or B.S. degree. Performance Opportunities Involvement in theatre productions is an important part of the Theatre program. The Weber State Theatre produces a full season of plays in the Monson, Allred, and Austad theatres of the newly remodeled Browning Center (expected to reopen in 1999). Theatre facilities include a variety of proscenium and flexible staging situations. Students are given first priority in all department productions. 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.
