Theatre Program
The vision of the Bellarmine University Theatre Program celebrates the creativity of the human spirit. As a vital part of an international liberal arts community, the Theatre Program concentrates on developing imaginative, knowledgeable, skilled and responsible artists, teachers, scholars, students and audience members for the future of theatre. Within this creative community of artist-scholars, students are encouraged to cultivate critical thinking and develop their individual artistic passion through immersion in literature, new world views, cultural diversity, exposure to a wide variety of performance practices and their own practical creative exploration.
The study of theatre allows self exploration and independent discovery, and inspires deep compassion and empathy. Students, staff, faculty, and guest artists in Bellarmine University’s Theatre Program engage on a local, national and global level to realize this vision.
