From day one until graduation, Theatre touches nearly every discipline—visual art, literature, dance, history, technology, engineering, math, and the sciences.

As an FLC Theatre major or minor, you'll gain real-world experience in directing, management, dramaturgy, acting, design, and technical production, all while working alongside internationally renowned actors, playwrights, and directors.

Collaborative performances with faculty and community

At FLC, theatre is never made alone. Students collaborate on productions, engage in meaningful dialogue in the classroom, and work closely with faculty who are deeply invested in their growth as artists and people.

Partnerships with local artists and organizations offer real-world experience and help students build professional networks before they graduate.

This spirit of collaboration prepares students for careers in the performing arts—and builds a community that extends well beyond campus.

"The opportunities and experiences as a first-year are like nothing you’d see at bigger schools. I was involved from the moment I started classes. "
