Theatre Arts (THTR and THED)

Faculty

Professor Bill Gabelhausen

Associate Professors Kathy Blandin, John Spiegel and Henry Johnson  

The theatre program offers academic study and hands-on learning in the areas of acting, directing, production, costuming, set design and construction, sound, lights, children’s theatre, playwriting, movement and voice for actors, drama education, and theatre history. By actively participating in course work during the day and productions in the evening, students develop performance, technical and analytical skills. The department produces a variety of theatrical events each semester in order to broaden the scope for the future theatre professional.

The mission of the Piedmont University Theatre Department is to provide rigorous academic training for students in both performance and technical theatre, to provide audiences with quality productions of the highest caliber, to explore the full range of theatrical offerings from the classical to the contemporary, and to foster professionalism, creativity, and camaraderie.
