The Skidmore Theater Department is a pre-professional program culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree. We offers students the opportunity to pursue the serious study of the theater arts within a broad-based liberal arts setting. Courses within the department afford training in the basic demands of the discipline — physical and vocal control, technique in acting and directing, technical and des
ign skills, stage management, playwriting, etc. — as well as the opportunity for advanced study, practical production experience, study abroad, and off-campus internships. The college liberal arts requirements help the student to understand the moral, intellectual, and political context in which any artist practices. Although students may choose to take a wide range of theater courses and word in a variety of areas, most choose to concentrate in a specific area such as acting, directing, design, technical production, stage management, playwriting, dramaturgy, or theater administration. With the help of faculty, concentrations can be individually designed to suit a student's needs and may include courses in other disciplines.
