Perform, design, write plays, direct and study the literature and history of the world of theatre.
Students may major in theatre — including a unique applied theatre program that investigates the use of theater in community service, health or political contexts — or simply participate in courses and shows.
Work with guest directors and instructors from the theatre world and participate in two main stage productions each year, plus student-produced LunchBox season performances. Take advanced classes on such specialized topics as gender and performance and playwriting.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for current season updates and department news.
Apply for a Pacific University Talent Scholarship! Students may earn up to $7,000 a year, renewable for up to four years for students who major or minor in theatre or applied theatre. Incoming first-year students and transfer students are eligible to apply.
