Letter to Prospective Students
August 23, 2007
Dear
Student:
Welcome
to the exciting world of the University of Utah Department of
Theatre. We offer academic rigor and artistic excellence as you
learn from faculty who are both master teachers and working
professionals. Our facilities include two theatres: the
Babcock Theatre
(our main stage with a season of five shows per year), and
Studio 115
(an experimental black box with seven productions a year). The
Department of Theatre also sponsors environmental and experimental
performances, including the outdoor Classical Greek Theatre
Festival, and new works by professionals and students, as
well as productions for young audiences. The
Pioneer
Theatre Company – a professional theatre—is also located on
our campus.
As a
theatre major, you may pursue a degree in one of four different
areas of emphasis:
All
majors complete a theatre core, which helps create a common
foundation and a close-knit atmosphere for all of our students.
Your learning will come not just from our talented, experienced
faculty but also from the
talented, diverse students who will be taking this educational
journey with you. Outstanding
resources
are available through the Department and across campus to help you
achieve success and accomplish your educational goals.
We look
forward to your joining us for a rewarding educational experience as
we learn and grow together through the power of theatre!
Sincerely,
Bob
Nelson, Chair
Department of Theatre
