Catawba College

Catawba College’s Theatre Arts program seeks to cultivate the growth of well-rounded artists and scholars who are accomplished leaders and theatre-makers, valuing creativity and collaboration as a way of understanding and connecting with the world.

Catawba College’s Theatre Arts program has the structure in place to teach its performing arts undergraduates all of the necessary routines in the discipline. You’ll be trained to adapt to a rapidly-shifting theatrical landscape while engaging in interdisciplinary, provocative, and intellectually demanding courses. You and your fellow classmates will even show your work competitively as performers, designers, playwrights, stage managers, and directors at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Region IV Conference.

Theatre Arts faculty fully expect our graduates to make the theatre profession a better place for all participants – audience and artists – and to always give back to the community. Our graduates are marketable precisely because they depart our performing arts program with both the depth of a focused skill set and the breadth that comes from a solid and enduring liberal arts foundation that helps them to connect their passions with the concerns of a greater global community.
