Hands on. Real. Resume-building. Effective.
All these have been used to describe the University of Saint Mary theatre
program. As a theatre major, you'll learn the ins-and-outs of theatre on
the university's newly renovated Xavier Theatre stage. Before you take
the stage, USM's dedicated and experienced theatre professors will help
you develop an imaginative approach to theatre, both as a performer, director
and technician. That's right! You get a "behind the scenes" education into
what it takes to put a four-star performance into action!
Theatre experiences include a four show season of main-stage productions, one-act plays, mime shows, area children 's theatre tours and senior projects. USM is the perfect place to build your resume and take a bow! Recent graduates include soap opera star and music video director Dallas Henry, public relations director for the Kennedy Center, Joy Johnson, and two working actresses, Heidi Stubblefield and Katie Gilchrist, .
The 2007-2008 Theatre Schedule Has Just Been Announced! Come See All the Theatre Productions inside USM's Newly Renovated Xavier Theatre.
