Presentation

Study in Theatre concerns a wide array of important and valuable life skills that reach far beyond the stage. Theatre is a reflection of society through which its audience is both entertained and educated. Through their work with Augustana's Theatre Company, students acquire competence in all facets of theatrical production in addition to developing skills in communication, cooperation and commitment.

The discipline of theatre is enhanced by study in another field, but in its own right it has value by preparing students for advanced study or immediate placement in the world of theatre production.
