THE PROGRAM
Berry College's theatre program provides high-quality theatre-arts training in a broad-based liberal-arts setting. Students in the program earn a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major or minor in the theatre. They master skills in both theatre performance and production. Frequent productions allow students to apply skills they learn in class. Internship opportunities, independent study, and special seminars are offered by the faculty; and opportunities to study theatre overseas are available.
PERFORMANCES
Four faculty-directed shows and numerous student productions are staged annually. Students are involved in directing, lighting, makeup, costuming, set design and construction, and publicity. Performances are presented in the E.H. Young Theatre, which houses a fully equipped, three-quarter-thrust main stage and a studio theatre.
