Three Career Tracks

Professional
Our faculty are practicing professional artists with contacts at local and national theatre companies, including Cleveland’s Great Lakes Theater. You’ll gain practical job experience, earn equity points, make important contacts and build an impressive resume.
Experiential
You’ll gain valuable experience through our many productions. Learning becomes relevant as you delve into all areas – performance, design and construction, as well as production, management and marketing. With both proscenium and black box theatres, we offer traditional and contemporary audience settings that provide a variety of learning environments, including theatre in-the-round, thrust staging and more.

Foundation courses in literature, history, performance, technical and collaborative studies will help you develop critical thinking and awareness of theatre and dance as vital art forms.
