Theatre Arts
The Theatre Arts program at LMU approaches the study of theatre with the view that it is a laboratory for the study of life, allowing us to explore the human experience through performance. With comprehensive coursework and training in acting, directing, design, theatre technology, playwriting, history and criticism, our intimate classes allow for close working relationships with our international, award-winning faculty comprised of a Pulitzer Prize winner, Fulbright Scholars, Princess Grace Award recipient, Emmy-nominated, and many other accolades. We train students for a variety of careers in film, television and theatre, while encouraging them to develop practical communication and leadership skills for application in a humanistic context.
