Theatre Arts

Film and Media Production

    The St. Andrews Department of Communication and Theatre Arts invites students to study and participate in the arts of theatre, film, and video production within a liberal arts framework.

          Our program combines the study of communications history and practical theory with hands-on experience in acting, writing, directing, and producing for media ranging from public speaking to theatre to film and television.  For majors and non-majors alike, courses are designed to develop potential marketable skills as well as an appreciation of the disciplines and the ability to interpret and analyze these media intelligently.

          Students can choose to study a combination of the two main disciplines or they may desire to concentrate more on one side or the other.  In addition, students will be exposed to other communications-related fields such as creative writing, visual arts, politics and philosophy.

          The entire department is integrated, but should interest lie a little more in one direction or the other, follow the links below:

Students wishing to concentrate in the area of film and media production can study areas such as writing, shooting, directing and editing, and will find a multitude of resources in St. Andrews Electronic Fine Arts Center.

          Those wishing to concentrate on theatre arts will find multiple opportunities to act in plays, write, direct, and design in the environment of Morris Morgan Theatre.
