BFA – Theatre with a concentration in Acting

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Theatre/Acting Concentration:

BOLD, DYNAMIC, IMPULSIVE, AUTHENTIC, TRANSFORMATIVE. A few words that describe the “actors-as-artists” that graduate from our program.

We specialize in the integration of multi-techniques, celebrating the uniqueness of YOU and cultivating your ability to access all aspects of humanity in service of the craft of transformative acting for theatre, film, and television, and the ever-expanding offerings of multi-media performance platforms.
