Learn why Josie decided to be a theatre major at NU.
In a unique and evolving art form, theatre artists, whether center stage or behind the scenes, face many arduous demands required to create inspiring theatre. The training offered here has prepared Niagara University graduates to successfully pursue careers from Broadway to Hollywood, regional theatre to international tours, and television to film.
Our curriculum is uniquely designed, fusing a conservatory approach to theatre training with a liberal arts education. To better prepare students for success and the realities of careers in professional theatre, our programs require an intense schedule and disciplined focus on both academic coursework and practical production experience. Niagara University Theatre requires a greater time commitment than other programs, but the benefits are significant.
Students work closely with a distinguished faculty of academic and working professionals who are committed to student artist development. Students in every program receive mid-semester evaluations with each of their instructors. Further supplementing the curriculum, students have opportunities to participate in Guest Artist master classes and workshops with renowned industry professionals.
