The theatre arts program offers an Associate in Arts degree with either a performance or technical theatre emphasis. Theatre training can enhance performance, communication and visual art skills while providing students an opportunity to participate in the lively art of theatre.

Students not only engage in classroom study, they also have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, including two major theatrical productions.

In addition, theatre students can get involved in the Drama Club where they can participate in such activities as the American College Theatre Festival and student-directed one-act plays.

The Bismarck State College theatre program exists so that anyone who wants to explore the theatre arts will find the freedom to experiment and the encouragement to learn. The program is large enough to offer a variety of classes and activities, but small enough to allow both freshmen and sophomore students the opportunity to become involved. Students planning to transfer to a four-year program can do so with strong basic training and practical experience. Non-majors are able to explore theatre arts according to their own interests. Students who complete the requirements earn an Associate in Arts degree.

Performance and technical theatre scholarships are available. Information is available from Dan Rogers, Assistant Professor of Speech and Theatre.

Career Possibilities: Actor, Dancer, Director, Teacher, Playwright, Scenic Craftsman, Scenic or Costume Designer, Arts Manager.
