Musical theatre is popular the world over. Some of the most famous and iconic of musicals have been performed for generations, in large venues and small, by professionals and amateur groups. Musical theatre is a collaborative process in which every person contributes – on the stage or behind the scenes. As part of a community of performers, students learn to be respectful of others.
Creighton faculty members are active in the local theatre community and can help you locate summer internships and opportunities off-campus during the academic year.
