Bachelor Degree in Theatre

Nurturing theatre artists’ innovation and communication through our cross-disciplinary program.

Theatre students graduate with strong communication skills and the ability to work with a diverse group of people. To create theatre students must use innovation and collaboration, which prepares students to succeed in any career field.

Cross-disciplinary program. Our theatre program resides within the Visual and Performing Arts Department. This allows our students to explore the intersections between theatre, dance, and art.

Collaborative environment. The theatre program at Luther produces at least three mainstage productions every year. We have open auditions for all productions, which allows students from a variety of backgrounds to work together.

Founded in 1861 by Norwegian immigrants, Luther values its heritage, just as it values the diversity of its students, staff, and faculty, who hail from many faith backgrounds and heritages.

The college strives to make Luther affordable for all students by offering scholarships, need-based aid, work study, and loan programs.

Luther offers more than 60 majors and preprofessional programs leading to the bachelor of arts degree. The college’s learning philosophy highlights connections between disciplines. Its thoughtful and rigorous curriculum moves beyond immediate interests toward engagement in the larger world. This approach to education helps Luther earn inclusion in the top tier of national liberal arts colleges in the U.S. News and World Report’s college guide.

Luther is a Phi Beta Kappa institution, an honor belonging to only 10 percent of colleges and universities, and its graduates regularly earn awards, such as Fulbright, Rhodes, Goldwater, and NCAA Postgraduate scholarships.
