BA in Theatre

Invited workshop presenters, attendance to Kansas City theatre events, and a vibrant college arts community are all part of what will welcome you. Jewell faculty plans a season of meaningful and challenging performances for both our Jewell Theatre Company and audiences. From year to year, you will be exposed to various genres of plays and musicals and have the opportunity to work independently on your own creative endeavors.

You can lead groups to provide additional outlets for others wanting to perform, direct, or design, such as 24 Hour Theatre and 10-minute play series. Interested in film production? You can create short films and present them in our theater auditorium. Our national theatre honor society, Alpha Psi Omega, offers movie nights, lip-sync battles, and an additional designated performance. As a senior theatre major, you will even produce your own full-length performance as a capstone project, putting into practice all you have learned.

William Jewell College is more focused than ever on advancing critical thinking and preparing students to connect their thinking with their purpose. We educate our community to ask reflective questions, apply critical thought, and act with purpose. As evidenced in our strategic plan, we have a clear vision for increasing access to education and maintaining a vibrant campus that attracts the best students and faculty, while ensuring our current students have an enriching experience that prepares them for their futures as engaged citizens.
