Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

Lewis University

Our mission is to nurture and inspire young artists to engage with the world by using their own creative voice and their generous collaborative spirit. This engagement will have a strong base in the historical development of theatre as well as a wholistic foundation in every aspect of theatrical production, and will be strengthened by their confidence in who they are what they will create. That engagement may take the form of professional work in theatre as an actor, designer, stagehand, director, or manager, but may also consist of creative and collaborative engagement with a wider professional world which desperately needs those types of skills. Lewis University's Philip Lynch Theatre not only provides a strong education in the classroom, but also offers many opportunities to learn the many varied hands-on crafts that comprise the art of theatre. Students often obtain internships over summer break, but internships can also be done during a semester. Internships are further discussed in Part II of the Theatre Manual "Classes and Practicums."
