An Interdisciplinary Major
The Theatre Management major is an interdisciplinary program that combines academic training in Theatre as well as professional preparation in Management.
A student with a Theatre Management major would be able to pursue the art that he or she loves while completing an employable major in a competitive field.
The most intuitive career path for a Theatre Management major would be to work in a professional, semi-professional, or community theatre. However, any general arts position, including music, dance, art, or multi-media, would be a possibility. Additionally, these students could work in events planning, conference planning, media buying, or many other related fields.
Students pursuing a Theatre Management major will complete traditional liberal arts courses focused on Theatre as well as career-prep courses in Communication and Management. The course work in these disciplines focuses on marketing, advertising, writing, and organizational behavior. A student with a Theatre Management major would also be well prepared to step into more traditional management and communication positions.
Scholastica Theatre Program
St. Scholastica Theatre, like any theatre, is an expression and reflection of the larger community of which it is a part. Course offerings, play selection, and the production process are based in the liberal arts tradition of the College. Students from all disciplines contribute to each play that is produced at St. Scholastica. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the program, it is possible to pursue and maintain professional theatrical standards while providing an excellent foundation of knowledge and skills.
St. Scholastica Theatre produces three or four major productions each academic year. Cast and crew members from all areas of study are welcomed and encouraged to audition and participate in all aspects of our production season.
The St. Scholastica Theatre is a flexible theatre space (black box). Productions can be staged in a proscenium, arena, or 3/4-thrust configuration, with an intimate seating capacity of 100. It also houses production support areas for set, prop, and costume construction, as well as providing space for makeup and dressing room facilities.

St. Scholastica Theatre Program Mission Statement
The Theatre Program at The College of St. Scholastica emphasizes student learning and participation. It provides opportunities for students to develop a sense of the aesthetic through exposure to theatre as a performing art.
Students construct the sets and costumes, manage the box office and house, and perform in the productions. The curriculum of the Theatre Program stresses understanding of theatre history and dramatic literature and improves skills in performance and technical theatre.
The College of St. Scholastica Theatre Program is distinguished from professional actor preparation programs in that the production selection is firmly grounded in academic, not populist, plays. This combination of work, learning, and self-expression is a unique component of the liberal arts education.
