Creating the magic behind the scenes.
The Bachelor of Arts in Design and Technical Theatre is designed for the student who wishes to become a professional designer within the theatre industry or who wishes to progress to graduate school in theatrical design.
Majors take a scenographic approach encompassing all aspects of design and stage technology to create a well-rounded theatre technician. Students may pick a focus area or may instead choose to explore multiple fields of design.
The mission of the Piedmont University Theatre Department is to provide rigorous academic training for students in both performance and technical theatre, to provide audiences with quality productions of the highest caliber, to explore the full range of theatrical offerings from the classical to the contemporary, and to foster professionalism, creativity, and camaraderie.
