The concentration in Dance provides a concentrated course of study in dance technique, history, composition, design, kinesiology and performance, supplemented by elective options to augment each student's area of specialty. A concentration in theatre introduces students to all aspects of theatre art and permits students to specialize in those areas of theatre study which are of primary concern to them. Students are prepared for further study on the graduate or conservatory level. Courses of value to the general student population, such as those in dramatic literature, introduction to the theatre, and public address, are also offered through the Theatre and Dance Department. Students seeking a concentration in Theatre must have grades of C (2.0) or higher in all theatre courses. Every theatre major must participate (actor, crew, etc.) in two mainstage productions a year. Scholarship students need to participate in all mainstage productions. The Theatre and Dance Department offers a variety of scholarship opportunities designed to attract and retain students of exceptional talent and promise. They include the Ralph M. and Emmalyn E. Freeman Theatre Scholarship, Jeffrey F. Garfield Scholarship, Carolyn M. Gillespie Fund, Stephen Landon Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund, Kay Sampson Kelly Merit Scholarship, Brian McDonald Theatre Scholarship, the Carl and Sarah Morgan Theatre Fund and the Theatre and Dance Scholarship Program. Friends of the Theatre, the Chancellor, and our production program support these scholarship opportunities.
