About
At Baker, it’s not uncommon to see a freshman playing a lead role in a Shakespearean tragedy or a senior slinging nursery rhymes in a children’s play. Our award-winning theatre students thrive and learn by presenting an exciting and innovative production each semester and working closely with faculty who have professional experience in the fields they teach.
You will be able to hone your talents in the fine arts while also learning skills that will add depth and breadth to your chosen major. Businesses are looking for employees with experience in creative thinking and collaboration, skills that are honed in the theatre classroom!
A theatre minor prepares students for careers in education, fine arts, and the humanities while providing an exciting addition to their academic experience.
Well-Rounded Education
The theatre program helps students develop as individual and collaborative artists, instilling a foundation as performers, designers, and communicators while producing quality theatre at Baker University and in the region.
The theatre minor gives you the well-rounded education you need to continue to pursue the fine and performing arts after graduation by focusing on performance, stage craft, design, and history.
