Program Learning Goals. Upon completion of the program:
1: Equip-Students build a substantial knowledge base in history, theory and dramatic literature. This knowledge grounds students as they demonstrate skills in acting, directing, design and playwriting. Our program aspires to create “theatre generalists.”
2: Theatre- Students know the elements of theatre very well and can dissect various choices made in a production, articulate their purpose, and critique their effectiveness. Student shows comprehensive and interconnected knowledge and understanding of history and theory of theatre, including non-western and non-European forms.
3: Artist-Students devise a thoughtful definition of what it means to be a Christian theatre artist and practice the lifestyle disciplines necessary to realize this definition.
4: Creative- Students develop imagination and ability to view life from a range of perspectives.
5: Service- Students practice ensemble-based theatre for the benefit of all, guided by biblical standards of excellence and truth.
6: Kingdom- Students integrate their Christian beliefs with the institution of theatre and pursue how these connections might further God’s Kingdom on earth.
