BA in Theatre — Theatre Studies Track
Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania — Slippery Rock, PA
About this program
Slippery Rock University is a public comprehensive university in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania — part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education — enrolling approximately 8,500 students. SRU is the only institution in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education with all four fine and performing arts accreditations: theatre (NAST), art, music, and dance. The Department of Theatre offers a BFA in Acting (with concentrations in Acting and Musical Theatre) and several BA programmes (Acting, Theatre Arts Management, Design & Technology, and Theatre Studies). The programme was purpose-built around contemporary and new work alongside boldly inventive adaptations of classics, and emphasises Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE) principles across all training. Facilities include the newly renovated Miller Theatre (753-seat proscenium, state-of-the-art scene shop addition) and the Pearl Stoner Complex (296-seat flexible black box, costume shop, acting and design classrooms), both opened/renovated in 2021 after a $30 million investment. The department regularly travels to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and students earn international performance credits for these trips.
