DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theatre


Theatre tells the story of what it means to be human. We crave a better understanding of ourselves and our world, seeking what it means to be human today, in the past, and what our future might look like. Theatre is a way to process the human experience, to give value to our day to day lives, to make visible what has been unseen. In modern theatre, the experiences of the person next door are just as noteworthy, valuable, and visible as the stories of kings and queens or others with power from historical western theatre forms. Washburn University Theatre is committed to sharing these stories.

Jeff Kready (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Billy Elliot, Les Miserables) and Tally Sessions (War Paint, Falsettos, School of Rock) bring an evening of jazz standards, classic show tunes and new favorites, with their own special brand of hilarity, to Feinstein's/54 Below. The Rat Pack meets Simon & Garfunkel meets Abbott & Costello. They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, and some of it will be on purpose. You won't want to miss this late night musical extravaganza of comfort food and belly laughs for the soul.
