Monmouth College Department of Theatre

The Monmouth College Department of Theatre is committed to the intellectual, creative and professional development of its students by combining rigorous training with a Liberal Arts education. Seeped in a collaborative environment, we believe that the exploration of the craft and art of theatre is most successful when careful study is paired with immediate and consistent application of theories and techniques. Our program provides equal focus on the development of the creative process, creation of the creative product, and clear communication of its preparation and resulting impact. In doing so, we strive to provide a holistic approach to the training of an artist; not merely an artistic practitioner. If participating in theatre as a non-major, we believe the presentation, leadership and problem solving skills inherent in the creation of theatre can easily support many endeavors including teaching, public relations, media, and law. If participating in theatre as a major or minor, we believe students will benefit from our embrace of the standards of professionalism, personal responsibility and excellence required to survive and thrive in graduate school or in a life in “the business.”
