Leonard Rowley, Coordinator Professors, John M. Elzey, T. Leonard Rowley; Assistant Professors, Scott L. Jensen, Martin L. Kelley; Instructor, Buckley C. Jeppson. Description: The Theatre Arts Area establishes as its objectives the following: (1) To encourage understanding and appreciation of theatre: (2) To prepare teachers, artists, and scholars; (3) To expose students and community to great theories and philosophies, and to challenge conventional thinking; (4) To encourage creativity through participation in such areas of theatre as acting, directing, management, design, and playwriting; (5) To elicit the interest of young people in theatre; (6) To encourage community participation in theatre. Education: Several types of majors are offered: A departmental major in Theatre Arts and various options for prospective secondary education teachers. Departmental majors are considered to be in the general theatre program until the end of the freshman year. After audition and interview with the theatre faculty, they may continue in the general theatre program, or, upon consent of the faculty, they may emphasize performance (acting and directing) or production (technical and design). All departmental majors must take the bachelor of arts degree. In addition, they must complete up to 60 hours of satisfactory work in Theatre Arts. Prospective teachers may select either the bachelor of arts or the bachelor of science degree. In addition, teaching majors must complete up to 60 hours of satisfactory work in Theatre Arts. During the senior year and prior to graduation, every major student will prepare a comprehensive showing of his or her talents in all areas of theatre. All students will be encouraged to develop audition repertoires and/or design portfolios. They will also be encouraged to seek summer employment in stock or repertory theatres. Career Outlook: In preparing for a career in theatre, the student should be aware that the number of job applicants usually exceeds the jobs available. However, the current decentralization in American theatre, as well as opportunities in film and television, should produce a significant increase in job openings throughout the country. Related Careers: Careers growing out of or related to the study of Theatre Arts include stage plays, dinner theatre, summer stock, playwriting, motion pictures, television programming and performance, commercials, advertising, interpretive dance, mime, puppetry, diorama design, teaching, stage design, arts managements, recreational dramatics, and technical theatre. 175
