Becoming a Theater Major
We welcome your interest in the Department of Theater & dacne and invite you to explore our dynamic, diverse and energetic program. You could not pick a more exciting, vital time to study theater at CNU. If you are seriously interested in studying this intriguing art form and becoming a Theater Major, we ask that you take a few minutes and fill out the online "Letter of Intent."
You should know at the outset that our
program is rigorous. Our students practice professionalism-ours
is a program run by professionals therefore we expect our students
to respect the art and one another.
The program believes in professional training within a liberal
arts environment. Our program or study provides great opportunities
for our students to practice the art of theater at a very
high level. However, due to our specific academic
and artistic "tracks" we do not require an audition or
portfolio review for acceptance. Only after declaring
your major (and track) do we begin our assessment procedures.
Although this frequently occurs in the first year, we will
not begin serious assessment of your progress/skills/potential
until the second year.
Information
on Tracks in the Theater Arts Program
Master of Arts in Teaching:
The purpose of formal
education and training in the theater is not to impart a neatly
packaged body of knowledge and complete set of skills, but
rather to help students build a strong foundation from which
to launch a lifetime of artistic exploration and personal
discovery. This foundation requires the development of the
intellectual, physical, emotional and imaginative tools of
the complete artist/scholar.
