Is it possible....?

 Would it be possible at all to double major in theatre performance and technical theatre? And if so, I know I have to give a performance audition for the performance side, but what should I do for the technical side?

Well, I'm not a theatre major but I am pretty familiar with the fine arts school and know a few theatre kids. I don't think you can really major in technical theatre. However, when you come in as a theatre performance major you are required to take tech classes and serve on the tech crew for a certain number of performances. You take classes on lighting, set, costume design etc. So even though its not considered a major per se, you are still learning about the technical aspect of it and it will prepare you for that sort of career if you decide thats what you would rather do.

We actually only provide a degree in theatre, with no option of emphasizing in a specific subject. It's a great program, because it covers every aspect of theatre for every student, regardless of their "speciality." For students who DO have only a background in technical theatre, you can actually bring a portfolio and will have an interview instead of an audition. The information for the audition/interview is on the website below:

Good luck! Please let me know if you need anything else!
