The minor in theater provides students with a background in the primary areas of theater study and production while allowing them the flexibility to explore various interests.

Quinnipiac’s unique relationship with the nationally renowned Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Conn., provides students with opportunities for performance and production work in a professional theater setting.

Students select courses from an array of offerings in acting, directing, playwriting, design, stagecraft, theater history, theater for community, and theater for young audiences.

Students also may earn theater practicum credit by working on the Theater for Community mainstage productions. The Quinnipiac University Theater for Community produces two productions each year at the Long Wharf Stage II theater. The 4th Wall student theater group produces original one-acts, comedy revues, musicals, and staged readings throughout the school year (18 credits).

Required courses:

• DR 140 (Stagecraft)
• DR 160 (Introduction to Acting)
• DR 230 (Directing) or DR 350 (Playwriting)
• DR 270 (Theater History, Part I) or DR 275 (Theater History, Part II)
• Any two 200- or 300-level theater courses.
