The Department of Theatre and Dance offers a general theatre degree plus options in acting, dance, design and theatre technology, musical theatre, secondary education, and youth drama. Performance opportunities include six main-stage, faculty-directed productions; three touring productions; and more than 20 student-directed productions including plays, musical theatre, dance, puppetry, improvisation, comedy, and creative drama.

The award-winning faculty provide theatre majors with superlative training within a broad liberal arts context. Students may take courses in acting; voice and movement; dialects; directing; choreography; design and theatre technology; the history, theory, and criticism of drama and theatre; youth drama; secondary theatre education; playwriting; storytelling; puppetry; ballet; theatre dance (jazz and tap); aerial dance; and musical theatre. Students interested in performance, technical, and historical aspects are trained to step into professional careers. The program affords means for independent study and internships, special projects, and active personal involvement in lecture and laboratory classes, with the possibility for integration with other departments. To assist with financial needs, the department awards scholarships to selected majors each spring.

Requirements for the Major

In addition to general liberal arts preparation, six specific course sequences are available within the theatre major:

1. courses leading to a theatre major with an option in acting;
2. courses leading to a theatre major with an option in dance: ballet, theatre dance (tap and jazz), and aerial dance. Students also have the option of pursuing dance education leading to K-12 dance teacher certification. To achieve certification, the dance education option should be combined with requirements of the Department of Education, in conjunction with a fifth year master of arts in teaching (M.A.T.) or master of education (M.Ed.) program;
3. courses leading to a theatre major with an option in design and theatre technology;
4. courses leading to a theatre major with an option in musical theatre;
5. courses leading to a theatre major that, if desired, may be combined with requirements of the Department of Education, in conjunction with a fifth year master of arts in teaching (M.A.T.) or master of education (M. Ed.) program, to prepare students for secondary school certification with an undergraduate option in secondary theatre education;
6. courses leading to a theatre major that, if desired, may be combined with requirements of the Department of Education, in conjunction with a fifth year master of education (M.Ed.) program, to prepare students for elementary school certification with an undergraduate option in youth drama.

Auditions/interviews are required for all prospective students. The session will last approximately two and a half (2.5) hours. In addition to the audition/interview, students will have an opportunity to ask questions during a comprehensive department overview. Please note that entrance into Department of Theatre and Dance options is contingent upon acceptance into the University of New Hampshire. Prospective students who live more than 250 miles away may contact the department to discuss other audition options. Audition/interview dates, as well as detailed entrance requirements, can be found at the Department of Theatre and Dance website.

The general theatre major allows students to explore a variety of areas. In the freshman and sophomore years, students should enroll for at least two major and two Discovery courses per semester. The minimum grade requirement for major courses is C- per course. Any grade lower than C- will not count toward the major. Under department policy, students who complete both COMM 401 and 402 (American Sign Language) satisfy the bachelor of arts language proficiency requirement. All majors must take courses in the following areas: performance, design/theatre technology, and theory/history as well as fulfill between four and eight practicums and complete a capstone course. Although timing will vary with each option, it is strongly suggested that all introductory courses be taken prior to the end of the student's sophomore year.

The required minimum overall GPA in major coursework is 2.0.

Candidates for a degree must satisfy all of the University Discovery Program requirements in addition to satisfying the requirements of each individual major program. Bachelor of arts candidates must also satisfy the foreign language proficiency requirement.

Major department courses may not be used to satisfy Discovery category requirements except in the case of a second or dual major.

All UNH B.A. degrees require a minimum of 128 credit hours. Within those 128 credit hours, the theatre major offers seven specific course sequences:

Projects for 729 cannot count as internship hours. Students may fulfill this requirement through a variety of teaching opportunities with the department's outreach program (both during the school year and in the summer), or they may work with local schools teaching, coaching actors, assistant directing, choreographing, or in some other capacity as specifically arranged with their theatre adviser.

It also is understood that students involved in the above course curriculum in order to get state theatre arts certification must apply to either the UNH Department of Education or another university for acceptance into a fifth-year master of arts in teaching (M.A.T.) or master of education (M.Ed.) degree program that fulfills state requirements for certification.

Theatre (B.A.) Option in Youth Drama

The youth drama option is for those students who wish to use dramatic arts as a teaching tool, either in the elementary classroom or as a teaching artist. The comprehensive curriculum is specifically designed to train teachers. Through laboratory work, students obtain hands-on theatrical teaching experience, so that by the time they reach their graduate school internship, they have spent significant hours working with children. Students will be expected to fully integrate education and theatre coursework so that they leave UNH with sound theoretical training in addition to practical instruction on how to use drama to enhance learning outcomes, address classroom discipline issues, and, of course, bring the arts to life in the classroom.
