Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

At Albright, the theatre is a place for passionate conversations. A liberal arts education gets people talking from multiple perspectives — history and culture, language and literature, science and technology, philosophy and religion, business and politics — not to mention music, art, and dance — and no other department on campus embodies Albright’s mission of interdisciplinary learning more deeply than the Department of Theatre. Albright’s award-winning theatre company, the Domino Players Company, starts conversations that expand around campus and through the wider community. Our alumni have taken their theatrical skills to start exciting conversations around the world, onstage and off.
The department offers the bachelor of arts degree to majors in theatre. Many students opt to combine theatre with another major, such as arts administration, education, communications, fashion, English, history or music. The new interdisciplinary major in Digital Video Arts, offered with the Digital Media Department, prepares students to hone their theatrical creativity for careers in film and new media.
Theatre graduates have enjoyed successful careers in theatre, television, arts education, arts administration, arts therapy, and other fields that have made good use of their creative and collaborative problem-solving skills.
