What to Expect

As a student in Trevecca’s dramatic arts program, you’ll not only build a solid foundation in the dramatic arts, but you’ll have the chance to tailor your education to meet your passions and goals by specializing in one or more of the following aspects of theatre: acting, directing, design (set, costumes, lighting), playwriting or stage management.

This program is incredibly hands-on. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in four or five on-campus theatre productions each year. You’ll also participate in an internship that provides professional experience and valuable networking relationships with potential employers. Past students have completed local internships with the Nashville Repertory Theatre, Nashville Children's Theatre, Nashville Shakespeare Festival, Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and Studio Tenn, and others have done internships in New York, L.A., and overseas.

Dramatic arts faculty and coursework will encourage and equip you to be creative in your artistic pursuits. As a senior theatre student, you will create and present an original project in your specialized focus area. The project presentation is open to the general public and, in combination with your foundational coursework, gives you a professional capstone experience that prepares you for graduate studies and/or employment after graduation.
