Welcome

Performing artists work in multimedia entertainment, television and film, and perform in a variety of roles associated with acting, playwriting, casting, directing and management.

At SCAD, performing arts students develop skills within an arts environment where visual creativity, advanced design technologies, hands-on production and cultural dialogue are emphasized.
All in the timingperforming arts

In collaboration with the film and television department, the fashion department and others, students develop and produce a range of projects including student videos, fashion shows and other performances.

Six main stage productions are offered each year—one for first-year and transfer students only—as well as dance concerts.

Student productions may be held in the 1,200-seat historic Lucas Theatre for the Arts; the 1,100-seat Trustees Theater;  the 400-seat Arnold Hall auditorium; the 150-seat black box Mondanaro Theater in Crites Hall; or the 90-seat Afifi Amphitheater at the Pei Ling Chan Garden for the Arts.

Performing arts students participate in original student-written plays, new interpretations of classical and modern plays, musical revues, dance concerts, senior projects and thesis shows.
Performing arts professors with backgrounds as award-winning actors and directors share their experiences and are committed to preparing the next generation of performing arts professionals.

M.F.A. students pursue advanced studies in texts, movement, voice, production and promotion in preparation for a final term in residence at the Woodruff Arts Center’s nationally acclaimed Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.

Minors in vocal performance and dance may complement the major program of study. Undergraduate and graduate degrees in dramatic writing also are offered through the School of Film, Digital Media and Performing Arts.

Auditions
The admission department holds auditions for incoming undergraduate students for scholarship consideration and for incoming graduate students for fellowship consideration and/or acceptance into the graduate program.
