Get a complete theatre education.
Express and explore your love of theatre by learning (through hands-on practice) every aspect of theatre arts. Small classes and close work with faculty mentors (who are also experienced theatre professionals) will give you an edge as you prepare for a wide range of theatre careers or get ready to bring a show to life.
Partnering with the theatre arts program, the student-run Berry College Theatre Company produces two main-stage productions each semester—while spearheading service projects, fundraisers and social outings.
Here you will experience the full range of roles behind a working production—including costume, set, sound and lighting design; production management; marketing; dramaturgy; acting and directing.

The play Louis XIV didn’t want you to see! Banned after its premiere, this boundary-pushing dark comedy follows a well-to-do family as its patriarch falls under the spell of the humble and pious Tartuffe. Their lives are turned upside down by Orgon’s religious awakening. But is Tartuffe really what he seems? This outrageous classic has been making audiences laugh – and squirm – for over 350 years.
