Theatre Studies at Acadia University at Main

Acadia’s four-year theatre program offers two streams of study: performance and production.

Theatre is a collaboration. It relies on the talents of many people:

  • designers
  • actors
  • lighting and sound technicians
  • carpenters
  • painters
  • media professionals
  • box office administrators

The more students can do with knowledge and flair, the more useful they will be to the theatre, themselves, and to the community.

Theatre’s collaborative process will prepare students to be flexible in the skills they acquire and apply. They will work on both sides of the footlights. Theatre students will gain practical and conceptual knowledge through academic and studio courses. This knowledge will enrich their sense of how theatre is integral to all developed societies.

Students will receive a strong grounding in theatre as well as professional preparation. The performance stream offers them a solid foundation in acting, movement, voice, theatre history, and dramatic literature. It gives the opportunity to perform or to work backstage in the productions of the Acadia Theatre Company. The production stream is a multi-disciplinary program. It will allow students to focus their studies on the backstage elements of theatre.

The Acadia Theatre Company produces two shows a year. These are from the modern, classic, and international repertoires. In addition, the company stages a Minifest of original one-act plays each year. Minifest plays are directed, performed, stage-managed, designed, lighted, and costumed by Acadia theatre students under the supervision of theatre faculty.
