Performing Arts

The Performing Arts Program at UDM provides an apprenticeship system of working with professional actors and directors. Classes are structured around an actor-intensive two-year conservatory system. The conservatory system is developed using smaller class size thus providing each actor with maximum master teacher guidance.

The Professional Theatre maintained by the B.F.A. faculty and students has a wide reputation for artistic excellence bringing positive media coverage and audiences to the Outer Drive campus from the entire metropolitan area

The Performing Arts Department is concerned with stimulating artistic expression by articulate, dynamic and creative people and is designed to prepare students to enter the profession as performers, directors, or educators. To this end, three interlocking methods are used.

First, departmental advisors build an individualized program for each student within the college core curriculum, and cognate courses.
