If you are creative and looking for a means to express that creativity, the Pittsburg State University theatre emphasis is for you.

Career Opportunities
Of all the fine arts, theatre offers the widest range of opportunities for employment. While only a small number of students go on to become professional actors, many others continue with graduate study or find employment in:

• Teaching
• Stagecraft
• Costuming
• Directing
• Research
• Community theatre (actors, directors, technicians or industrial entertainment coordinators)

The study of law, philosophy, sales, management, hotel and resort recreation is enhanced by a background in the theatre arts and requires applicants to provide evidence of training and study in the field of theatre arts.

Our Program
The theatre emphasis includes the major areas of performance studies, acting, directing, design and technical practice. Under the direction of talented and experienced faculty, students may participate in a wide variety of performance experiences across the spectrum of the arts, including performance art, opera, classical and contemporary theatre, dance, musicals, children's theatre and experimental work. Productions are often conceived from an interdisciplinary perspective. Opportunities exist for students to participate in international theatre programs.
