2023 - 2024 THEATRE HANDBOOK

PREFACE
The Theatre Handbook has been compiled by the Theatre Faculty and Staff to give students
majoring in Theatre and Musical Theatre, or minoring in Theatre, information about how the
Theatre program operates. It covers major and minor requirements, audition information, special
projects, production requirements, and other information pertinent to students interested in
Theatre. We hope that you will find the handbook helpful and use it as a reference throughout the
year.
INTRODUCTION
The following Mission Statement and Education Goals have been designed by the Theatre faculty
to serve as guides for the activities of the department. It is our hope that work in the classroom
and on stage is reflective of these principles, which strive to view the theatre not only as
entertainment but also as a means to transform the lives of those affected by it.
MISSION STATEMENT
The BSC Theatre Program provides theatre training in the context of an undergraduate liberal arts
tradition. We offer academic rigor within a challenging, collaborative array of courses and the
production of plays and musicals. BSC Theatre's teaching reflects the importance of hard work,
kindness, critical thinking, and humility. These combined have the power to create theatre which
entertains, educates, and enlightens.
