Message from the Chair

The study of theatre at Puget Sound successfully combines the rigor of the classroom, the opportunity for independent research, the constant exposure to the contemporary world of theatre, and numerous opportunities for individual and group performance. No audition process is required to declare a Theatre Arts major. Our program encourages students to excel in theatrical and academic performance, supporting them with outstanding instruction in all areas of the theatre. Our department has three objectives:

  • First, we provide theatre arts majors with an education for a wide variety of performance and research, which will prepare them for further study in graduate or professional theatre.
  • Secondly, we provide numerous opportunities for co-curricular involvement by students studying in other disciplines.
  • Our third goal is to cultivate and educate our audience by presenting high-quality productions to the University and Tacoma-Seattle communities.

I hope you enjoy exploring our web site. Thank you for your interest in our department and please email me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Jac Royce, Chair
Theatre Arts Department

P.S. There is no audition process for acceptance into the program, and non-majors are encouraged to particpate in the academic program and productions (including scholarships).
