Theatre AFA
Concentrations: General Theatre, Acting
The Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) in Theatre concentrates student learning on theatre skills and knowledge, preparing students for further academic study of Theatre in either performance-based or technical-based areas – or both. The program will prepare them to compete a variety of theatre applications such as acting, directing, producing, stage management, lighting and scenic design and theatre education. Through applied and theoretical courses, students will develop the basic competencies of showmanship, knowledge acquisition, critical thinking, and analytic oral and written communication skills that potentially encompass a wide range of degree possibilities. The theatre course variety potentially includes performance, design, critical thinking and listening, and theoretical skill sets necessary for a pathway toward a bachelor’s degree in theatre arts.
