Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Theatre] From Eastern Washington University

Other students may wish to focus solely on acting, however they will be expected to contribute equally to the technical side of the production. Each production will go towards a student's final portfolio.

The Bachelor of Arts in Education w/ certification in Theatre

For those who wish to teach grades 4-12. This program is designed to give the student a thorough preparation in all aspects of theatre, both to equip the potential elementary and secondary teacher with the necessary knowledge and skills and to support any graduate school specialty the major may choose to pursue. The range of elective courses permits the major a small amount of specialization within the curriculum, but the primary intention of the curriculum is to achieve a broad fundamental preparation in theatre, with the belief that specialization is the proper pursuit of graduate study. In addition to classroom studies, the program offers valuable "hands-on" experience in virtually every phase of theatrical production, whether it be acting, directing, singing, costuming, or a myriad of technical and design skills. Each major is expected and required to be available to work on every production in the program's season.
