Seattle University's theatre program provides an intensive, well-rounded theatre education grounded in Jesuit liberal arts principles. Students dive into a dynamic theatre setting that fosters collaborative and socially conscious live performance. We aim to develop adaptable theatre practitioners who approach their craft, personal growth, and global engagement with intellectual rigor and enthusiasm. The program supports your creative goals while providing thorough training across all theatrical disciplines - from performance and design to direction, historical studies, and technical production. Both major and minor degree options are available, along with Departmental Honors opportunities. Benefit from our faculty mentorship approach, a cornerstone of our teaching methodology, where intimate class settings foster meaningful individual guidance from experienced theatre educators.
Seattle thrives as a vibrant center for theatrical arts. Our program offers multiple pathways to engage with the local arts ecosystem: our faculty members maintain active professional connections, visiting artists collaborate through our Stretch residency initiative, industry professionals participate in our Mainstage productions, and students are empowered to explore Seattle's thriving theatre community through internship opportunities.
