American University's Theatre and Musical Theatre Program equips you for success across diverse careers in and beyond the performing arts. Every major builds upon a solid liberal arts foundation. We strive to foster an energetic, challenging, and nurturing community of artist-scholar-citizens within a top-tier liberal arts setting. Equip students to navigate the constantly changing world of modern theatre, honoring tradition while innovating for tomorrow. Confront and eliminate racism, anti-blackness, and all forms of discrimination while advancing fair and inclusive principles, values, and practices. Actively address today's pressing political, social, and cultural concerns. Inspire students to embrace bold experimentation, learn from courageous failures, and continuously develop as theatre practitioners and individuals. We champion boundary-pushing, questioning norms, and exploring new creative horizons.
