All these have been used to describe the University of Saint Mary theatre program. As a theatre major, you'll learn the ins-and-outs of theatre on the university's newly renovated Xavier Theatre stage. Before you take the stage, USM's dedicated and experienced theatre professors will help you develop an imaginative approach to theatre, both as a performer, director and technician. That's right! You get a "behind the scenes" education into what it takes to put a four-star performance into action!
Theatre experiences include a four show season of main-stage productions, one-act plays, mime shows, area children 's theatre tours and senior projects.
