Students who choose to participate in theatre at Shippensburg University will gain lifelong enrichment experiences in the arts and learn how the performing arts can complement their major. The collaborative nature of theatrical work provides you with important life skills applicable to all careers. The dynamics of working within a group, the importance of commitment and dedication to a task, and the discipline and rewards of hard work are lessons the theatre teaches in a very practical way.
Our theatre minors are a diverse group of individuals. Some stay with the applied arts and work in professional theatre, while some move into their local, community theatre. Theatre training provides employment in technical theatre. Several of our alums work in educational theatre or as educators in professional, theatre organizations. Some have found that theatre training enables them to transition well into management and administrative positions.
