Why study Theatre? The EWU theatre program offers classroom study as well as hands- on experience in every phase of theatrical production, including acting, directing, singing, costuming, and technical and design skills. Three productions a year are staged in the University Theatre, ranging from classical to modern plays. Scholarship Opportunity Each year the Theatre Program offers a number of Angel Scholarships, in the amount of $1,000, to help offset the cost of tuition. Graduating high school seniors and prospective EWU theatre majors are eligible for the scholarship. Applications can be found at and sent to: Sara Goff Assistant Professor of Acting and Directing Requirements to Begin the Major High School graduates and community college transfer students who want to major in Theatre should possess high verbal aptitude and effective skills in reading and writing. Moreover, Theatre majors should possess an attitude of teamwork, strong self-discipline, and a commitment to hard work for long hours. Previous coursework and participation in music, dance, acting, singing, and backstage production is highly desirable, but not mandatory. Students wishing to study theatre should declare this major early in their university career. Entering freshman or transfer students should contact the Theatre Program Director for the assignment of an academic advisor immediately upon arrival at the campus.
