Theatre Program Concentrations

There are two concentrations within the theatre program:

  1. Theatre prepares students as performing artists, directors, technicians, designers, and managers.
  2. Theatre Education leads to Pennsylvania teacher certification in Communication Arts 7-12 (which includes English, theatre, and non-print media).

All students must fulfill Marywood University’s Core Curriculum requirements as outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog.
