Theatre Arts (THTR and THED)
Faculty
Professor Gabelhausen
Associate Professors Blandin and Spiegel
The study of Theatre Arts at the undergraduate level focuses on rigorous academic training for students in both performance and technical theatre; exploration of theatrical offerings from the classical to the contemporary; and the fostering of professionalism, creativity, and camaraderie among the Piedmont Theatre family. Students work one-on-one with Theatre faculty who challenge and inspire them to push artistic boundaries. In so doing, students are guided to identify their own artistic passions which are nurtured through instruction, research and practice.
The mission of the Theatre Arts program is to create well-rounded theatre professionals by building a strong knowledge base and encouraging the application of skills in all areas of theatre including acting, directing, technical theatre, theatre history, and theatre management.
