BA in Theatre
College of the Holy Cross — Worcester, MA
About this program
The Bachelor of Arts in Theatre at the College of the Holy Cross is offered through the Department of Theatre & Dance. Theatre in some form has been a part of every culture and period in history, making it both a universal form of expression and an infinitely varied series of practices, each unique to its time and place. In the liberal arts tradition, Theatre is a vital, dynamic discipline in ongoing dialogue with the human condition. Holy Cross Theatre reflects Jesuit ideals such as discernment and cura personalis, as well as the College Mission’s call for comfort with ambiguity and uncertainty. In classrooms, studios, laboratories, shops, and performance spaces, Holy Cross Theatre seeks to entertain, provoke thought, and creatively challenge both participants and audiences. Students interested in majoring in Theatre can choose either a Performance or Design emphasis. Students interested in minoring in Dance complete six courses; students can complete both a major in Theatre and a minor in Dance (no course double-counting). Students can also create a self-designed major through the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in areas such as Film Studies. Each year, the Department of Theatre & Dance offers three productions as part of students’ training — a mixture of contemporary and classic works designed to entertain, inspire, and challenge audiences. Holy Cross is the oldest Roman Catholic college in New England (founded 1843).
