Performing arts students develop skills within an arts environment that emphasizes visual creativity, advanced design technologies, hands-on production and cultural dialogue.

Minors in vocal performance and dance may complement the major program of study. The department also offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in dramatic writing.

M.F.A. students spend their final term in residence at the Woodruff Arts Center's nationally acclaimed Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.

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

In collaboration with film and television, fashion and other departments, students develop and produce a range of projects including videos, fashion shows and other productions.

Six mainstage productions are offered per year-one for first-year and transfer students only.

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.


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.
