“While earning my degree in Acting/Directing, I not only honed my artistry under the guidance of highly skilled educators, but also learned deeply impactful life lessons about the importance of dedication, kindness, and a strong work ethic. These values will continue to shape my journey as I embark on my career.”

“Although I am studying to be an educator, I explored many different opportunities in professional technical theatre through Weber. I can now be a more skillful educator and knowledgeable person to my future students and have options open for myself in different technical theatre avenues.”

What You’ll LEARN at Weber

You’ll develop strong foundational skills in all aspects of theatre so that you are prepared to be employed as a lifelong artist no matter what twists and turns life throws you. Students learn to be inventive, manage projects and work with limited resources. Theatre also teaches you about the human condition, how to deal with very different people and that hard work has its rewards. Alongside developing your own unique voice as an artist, you will learn collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking.

What You CAN DO After Weber

Theatre arts graduates have worked on Broadway, in regional and children's theatres, on cruise ships, in theme parks and in film and television. Our design, technical and management students are employed throughout the country.  If you have questions, contact a 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Career Advisor.
