A production may bring together the talents of playwrights, actors, designers, directors and a host of other theatre artists. The major areas of specialization include performance, design, directing, playwriting, theatre education, and theatre history/criticism.

Theatre also develops the ability to concentrate intensely, to listen introspectively, observe keenly, solve problems creatively, think critically, develop a project collaboratively, work independently, work under pressure, meet deadlines, and to maintain composure when faced with the unexpected.
