In the  programme delivered by University of South Carolina, you will be required to actively participate in productions (we plan up to six plays per semester). You will have access to outstanding facilities including two on-campus venues, featuring an arena stage and a proscenium stage, as well as our Black Box laboratory where you can perform experimental works.

You will also benefit from an active guest artist program, which brings in professional directors, actors and designers from all over the world to work with students. In addition to specific training and skills learned in acting, design and technical skills, our students gain skills in collaboration, teamwork, creative problem-solving, communication and leadership. You will enjoy small classes for technique courses so you can benefit from one-on-one training with faculty. Outside of the classroom, you will work directly with faculty as a part of the training for main-stage and laboratory rehearsal and performance.

A major in theater can prepare you for careers in:

• acting

• directing

• design

• production technology in scenery, lighting, sound, and costumers

• theater management, teaching and writing
