Theatre Academic Programs and Degrees

Commitment to the liberal arts

Your theatre education and experience at Harding begins with a commitment to the liberal arts and a core curriculum shared by all our degree programs. Every student will take twenty-five hours in our core curriculum. These courses prepare you to understand the art form and the professionalism required of every theatre arts practitioner. Courses include Technical Theatre, Stage Carpentry I, Acting I, Theatre Forum, The Business of Theatre, World Drama, Theatre History I and II, Design I and Directing I. This core allows you to learn and experience multiple components of the art.

The B.A. in Design/Production prepares students for careers in professional, educational and community theatre design and production. The degree offered four distinct concentration areas for study — Set Design, Costume Design, Production and Light/Sound.

The Theatre Design/Production degree is the path of professional preparation for students who choose to play their role offstage. This program is designed to prepare individuals for professional opportunities in scenic design and technical theatre, costume design and production, audio design and production, lighting design and rigging, or event and stage management. Your advisor for the B.A. in Theatre Design/Production is Mr. Britton Lynn (blynn1@harding.edu).
