At BJU, the theatre arts program is about more than classroom knowledge; it?s about hands-on experience in theatre. You?ll build a solid foundation in the essentials of theatre arts, including acting and stagecraft, and you?ll get involved in student productions and official BJU productions. In addition, you?ll have opportunities every year to get involved in special events like the bake-off, a competition in which you have only 24 hours to practice and perform original student-written plays.

For your capstone experience you?ll play a part in staging an actual production for an audience. Together with your peers you?ll submit plans for an original play, adaptation or published drama. You?ll also work closely with a faculty member and receive guidance throughout your play?s production. Your teamwork will allow you to soar to greater heights in a short period of time as you produce your work. Recent productions have included Agatha Christie?s?And Then There Were None?and Frank Capra?s?It?s a Wonderful Life.
