Department of Theatre and Dance

Musical Theatre is an interdisciplinary minor that reflects the synthesis of music, dance, and theatre performance classes in a unique academic path that builds a specific and relevant body of knowledge and skill set for the performer. Students seeking the musical theatre minor strengthen technique by taking classes in these three areas and build their performance credentials by acting in musical productions at the University.

The Department of Theatre and Dance has a rich tradition of producing musicals. Recent productions include RENT, Into the Woods, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Bat Boy, Forever Plaid, Nunsense, elegies, Godspell, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

While the minor can easily serve as a specialization for any actor pursuing a theatre major, the program’s flexibility allows students in all disciplines the opportunity to accomplish a musical theatre minor. Upon completion of the program, students will have a strong foundation in theory, skills, and practice that will allow them to continue training while pursuing a career in musical theatre.

Students interested in the minor in Musical Theatre should consult with the Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance.
