About the program
For students passionate about the performing arts, SIU's theater program offers development and guidance in the talents and disciplines involved in the study of theater. Experienced, dedicated faculty members and a low student-to-teacher ratio encourage success in each student’s unique career path. The theater program blends the theoretical and practical sides of theater studies to ensure job placement in the competitive world of performance, production and backstage craft.
Theater students receive intense technical training by taking part in multiple productions throughout both the undergraduate and graduate programs. Professional production opportunities abound through internships and the McLeod Summer Playhouse theater program, as well. Cooperative relationships are nurtured for students interested in combining theater studies with music and cinema for increased career opportunities after graduation.
