Fine tune your skills in acting, voice, improv, movement, singing and dance. You’ll audition for the program in the spring of your freshman year, after you’ve had a semester to take theater arts classes and meet the faculty. Then, dive into your craft, with chances to learn about period styles, play analysis, theater history, voice and speech, dialects and movement. Gain valuable experience through the Professional Development Series, which includes workshops on voiceovers, commercial copy and other media. In addition to auditioning for shows at the Mary Moody Northen Theatre, where you’ll earn points toward membership in Actor’s Equity, you’ll have the chance to work in the Austin creative community. Take advantage of the growing film scene, or perform with local theater companies. Before graduation, you’ll showcase your work for an audience of industry professionals, such as agents and casting directors. And afterward, you’ll have a support system in your faculty mentors, as well as an alumni network of St. Edward’s theater graduates in cities like New York and Chicago. Show less
