Share your love for theatre with the next generation.

The Bachelor of Arts in Theater for Youth provides courses leading to either a career within the theatre for youth field or on to a graduate program focused on Theatre for Youth.

Courses and program requirements include classroom instruction as well as hands-on learning in theater production and theory, academic preparation in theatre, and experiential learning opportunities. Students within this major will be prepared both as performers as well as theatre guides.

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.
