Dr.
Kathleen McLennan, Professor and
Department Chair
Welcome to the Department of Theatre
Arts Web Page and thanks for visiting
us.
We have great programs in place
and exciting plans for the future
with a place for you. We promise
a full curriculum for theatre majors
with small classes and one-on-one
attention. First year students have
opportunities to audition for main
stage shows and several student-directing
projects as well as an opportunity to work on production crews and in our shops. Students may direct and
design in our lab theatre.
Our Master of Arts curriculum provides
individualized programs for students
preparing for an MFA, a Ph. D, or
work in professional theatre as
actors, directors, and designers.
We encourage our majors to gain
experience as Stage Managers to
learn all aspects of production.
Our first New York Showcase
joined seniors and graduate students
for performances in Minneapolis
and NYC where they were warmly welcomed
by UND alums and applauded by casting
agents. Today we have graduates
working in theatre in NYC, Chicago,
Minneapolis, and L.A.
Our new Dance Minor offers technique
classes in Tap, Ballet, Jazz, and
Modern Dance with advanced classes
in Dance Composition and Choreography.
Our Music Theatre curriculum includes
classes in acting, dance, and classes
in the Department of Music.
Theatre Arts at UND prepares students
for careers in theatre and a host
of other areas with its strong liberal
arts tradition. The BFA in Performance
honors the liberal arts while providing
a rigorous curriculum in acting
styles, dialect, and movement for
the actor. Design students have
regularly worked in the lab theatre
and completed a main stage show
as a senior project. All students
take a common core of classes before
electing an area of interest.
Students who want to study a little
of everything in theatre may select
from a broad array of classes in
theatre history, dramatic literature,
directing, and playwriting.
Please explore the possibilities UND Theatre Arts offers you and sign up for
the most exciting time of your life.
