Augustana graduates have completed Ph.D. and M.F.A. programs in theatre history, acting, directing, set design, theatre technology, costume design and lighting design.

Recent Augustana theatre alumni have built successful careers as talent agents, regional theatre performers, television and film actors, independent film producers, lighting designers, sound technicians, directors, stage managers, and teachers at the secondary and college levels.

Augustana theatre students have more opportunity to be involved than at many undergraduate schools: besides actors, designers and technicians, students may be stage managers, directors and playwrights who collaborate on productions with faculty every season.

Theatre arts majors also can be dramaturgs, conducting the
historical and contextual research for mainstage productions.
