MUSICAL THEATRE

The minor in Musical theatre is for those students who wish to pursue two great arts: music and theatre. Whether it’s crooning into a microphone, tickling the black and white keys, dancing in front of a painted set, or conducting a 100-piece orchestra, the love for musical theatre is one that combines a wide array of talent and skill. Students receive solid course instruction and direction, as well as numerous opportunities for implementing stagecraft skills — onstage and off.

Each semester, students study acting, directing, dramatic literature, music as well as technical theatre and stagecraft. Olivet offers an ideal combination of artistic freedom and professional nurturing in a Christian environment.

Roles in mainstage productions are by audition, though many other performance opportunities are offered. ONU Broadway Revue, Spoons for Forks improvisational group, the 24-Hour Theatre and summer productions are a few highlights of the year.

Here, at one of the nation’s premier Christian universities, we believe higher education should have a higher purpose.

With accredited programs, award-winning academics, and a faculty touting degree from a wide spectrum of world-class educational institutions, Olivet stands committed to integrating faith and learning.

Nestled in the historic village of Bourbonnais, Illinois, Olivet students gain knowledge and wisdom, and secure degrees that place them ahead of the pack, with portfolios and experience as evidence of an “Education with a Christian purpose.”
