Theatre Arts Department

Welcome to the Department of Theatre Arts web site! Whether your interest is a multidisciplinary master's degree or a terminal degree in acting, a Regent education will position you for longevity in the often tumultuous field of theatre arts.

Our faculty boasts credentials on par with the most acclaimed institutions of learning. They are professionally active, vested in all of the major theatrical unions and well-connected in the industry. But, what sets them apart as theatre artists is their shared commitment to using their gifts to the glory of God. You see, at one time every member of the faculty had to answer the same question you're facing: Am I being called to Regent University? Each of us recognized that Regent represented that unique intersection of artistic excellence and spiritual calling. If there was a place where we could train and equip the next generation of theatre artists holistically, fully recognizing the integration of mind, body and spirit in the creative process, then Regent was it!

I hope you take the time to read our mission statement, move through the web pages and learn about our graduate programs. May God bless you as you seek His calling!
