Major and Minor
Theatre
The Department of Theatre offers the Bachelor of Arts and the
Bachelor of Fine Arts in theatre. The department works with the
Department of Curriculum and Instruction to offer teacher certification
in theatre arts (see the Education section of this catalog). A minor in
theatre may be added to other majors.
Introduction
The Abilene Christian University Department of Theatre is committed
to providing quality training and opportunity for the disciplined
theatre artist in a nurturing environment that models Christian values.
The Department of Theatre accepts up to 12 freshmen each year
through interviews. In addition, actors are required to audition
while designers/technicians present their portfolios. Transfers or
current students wishing to change to a major in theatre must also
audition/interview. Those students are accepted as space becomes
available. The department has capped the number of majors in the
program. The freshman year is considered a probationary year.
Students are evaluated at the end of the year and must complete
barriers to continue in the major. Contact the department directly
for audition/interview dates.
This ACU program is highly competitive with larger universities
because it offers its students greater opportunities in securing
a wide variety of roles or design opportunities resulting in an
impressive resume upon graduation. Emphasis is placed on the
Christian viewpoint as it relates to contemporary theatre. ACU
theatre graduates compete well in national auditions for graduate
schools and professional theatres.
The technical curriculum provides hands-on experience in all phases
of backstage works. The practicum program offers a well-rounded
knowledge of theatre crafts. Other areas of emphasis include
directing, playwriting and secondary teaching.
The ACU Theatre makes use of several performance spaces. The
Williams Performing Arts Center (WPAC) employs state-of-the-art
equipment in lighting, sound and staging. The WPAC has two
performance areas: the Fulks Theatre, a 300-seat thrust theatre, and
the Culp Theatre, an intimate multi-form space. The ACU Theatre also
produces large-scale musicals in the Abilene Civic Center, a 2200-seat
proscenium theatre. The Abilene Shakespeare Festival produces two
plays in repertory each summer.
Departmental guidelines, expectations and barriers are listed in
the ACU Theatre Student Handbook, which is required for every
theatre major.
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study Abroad
program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary depending on
the site. Academic advisors can assist students in planning ahead for
their Study Abroad experience and should be consulted during the
freshman year.
