Disciplines and Degrees Offered Please see a detailed list at the end of this section of majors and courses offered by the Department of Theatre.
Purpose The overall goal of the theatre program is to create educated and aware people who have a clear view of themselves and a broad awareness of the world. Students are encouraged to apply their basic theatre skills to other fields. Faculty advisors work closely with each student to develop a program that best suits the individual’s needs.
The theatre major includes both academic classroom training and valuable practical experience in all aspects of production. Major productions are staged with the Gainesville Theatre Alliance (GTA), a professional theatre company that incorporates student, faculty and community talent. Performances take place at Pearce Auditorium, the John S. Burd Center for the Performing Arts on the Historic Brenau Gainesville campus and the Ed Cabell Theatre at the University of North Georgia. Laboratory productions are staged in Brenau’s Black Box Theatre, the Brenau Theatre on the Square, and at the University of North Georgia. Students are responsible for providing their own transportation to off-campus facilities.
Theatre majors are required to participate in the mainstage productions. Students must maintain a 2.0 minimum GPA to retain eligibility for participation in the production program.
