Both tracks feature expert faculty and state-of-the-art facilities for a thorough educational experience. Theatre at Emory & Henry is a rapidly growing program that currently supports about 40 majors, 4 Full Time Faculty, and many other Theatre Professionals from our community. Our program is for students serious about pursuing a career in the theatre. We have pre-professional conservatory-style t
raining, embedded in a rigorous small liberal arts school environment. We offer B.F.A. degrees specializing in Musical Theatre, Directing & Stage Management, Performance and Design & Production. We also offer a traditional B.A. in Theatre, and also a newly created BA in Theatre with a Dance concentration. We do all this while still maintaining small class-sizes- which mean personal attention for our students- unlike the large conservatories or big state schools. Our unique and legendary association with the Barter Theatre, the State Theatre of Virginia, means our students get hands-on experience with professional theatre artists throughout their four-year degree. Additionally, the Department of Theatre is housed in the gorgeous Woodrow W. McGlothlin Center for the Arts where students study and perform on a 500-seat state of the art proscenium stage and in our new black box theatre.
