Minor in Theatre Arts

About the program

We are a community of servant storytellers committed to the search for truth in a complex and diverse world. We represent students from all majors and offer a theatre minor for those who wish to go deeper in their pursuit of careers in acting, design or directing. Our co-curricular program emphasizes a broad-based, generalist understanding of theatre and is designed to create formational experiences for all George Fox students. Whether you are a theatre minor or not, you are welcome to join our storytelling community. Ultimately, our mission is to offer a program that prepares Christian artists to make meaningful contributions to our world – and to celebrate the unique God-given gifts and perspectives each person brings while courageously exploring the tensions within faith, art and culture.
