As a performer at Marquette, you will have the opportunity to explore the craft of acting from many different perspectives. There is no one size fits all when it comes to acting, and no two artists approach their work exactly the same. Through a range of curricular opportunities, you will be challenged to grow and develop the techniques that will serve you in school and in your career.<br><br>Participation in our varied main stage performances and student-driven productions will put your studies to the test. Guided by faculty as well as regular guest artists as part of our production season, you will build upon your lessons in a safe and professional environment. We strongly believe that all theatre artists must be well-rounded. Not only must an actor have some understanding of the technical aspects of theatre, he or she must have a comprehensive understanding of life. An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer (James Dean). A liberal arts degree offers the kind of breadth of knowledge an actor must have, and at Marquette you will receive a rigorous foundational education that will serve you as an actor, an artist, and an enlightened individual.
