Theatre at S&T

As a member of the Missouri S&T theatre program, you'll have opportunities to act and/or work on technical projects. We seek to entertain, but more importantly, we seek to create opportunities to grow for actors and audience alike. We are a diverse group of all ages and talents, and welcome new students to join us in presenting five to seven shows per year. 

We are cognizant of students' tough schedules, and seek to keep rehearsals short and productive/we can often work around your schedules, and encourage you to try us out!

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT FORM   

Employers want more from their prospective employees

They want people who possess “soft skills”;  those with the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, who are able to give great presentations, who have a dedicated work ethic. A theatre minor will enhance those skills, and give you an opportunity to show that you are well-rounded.  Research shows that skills learned while involved in a theatre program transfer naturally to desired skills that employers are asking for.

Acting, tech or both?

We offer exciting opportunities in both creative and technical sides of the theatre from acting, directing, and writing to light, sound, and scenic design. Students get to work with state of the art equipment on a large scale inside the Leach Theatre Stage space and on a more intimate scale inside Missouri S&T Theatre's Black Box (which we like to call our 'theatre lab'.)

All of our courses serve as humanities credits.

A minor in theatre requires a minimum of 15 hours comprised of the following courses:

Theatre 1150 - Theatre for Social Change (3 credits)
Theatre 2143 - Stagecraft (3 credits)

In addition to the courses listed above, students are required to choose 3 of the courses below (9 credits):

Theatre 2141 - Acting I (3 credits)
Theatre 3241 - Acting II (3 credits)
Theatre 3243 - Entertainment Design (3 credits)
Theatre 4341 - Directing (3 credits)

Other courses may be substituted with written permission from the theatre minor advisor and approval from the department chair.
