The Asbury Theatre Program uses a broad spectrum of skills to prepare well-rounded, service driven artists. Our curriculum combines areas of study with hands-on training in performance, design and production.

The Theatre Program interacts closely with the film & television programs allowing students to move between acting or designing for stage to adapt those skills for acting or designing for film.

Your work at Asbury will combine practical knowledge, academic depth and a natural integration of faith into your craft. Students are encouraged to grow as artists and individuals within an encouraging community. Discover your personal theatre journey and prepare for a future career.

The Theatre major is a 50-hour major plus general education and electives. A Theatre minor is a 23-hour minor.

FALL AUDITIONS – This Wednesday!

You do not need to prepare a monologue – but you do need to sign up! (link in bio – or scan QR)

SHAKESPEARE`S Classic Magical Adventure "THE TEMPEST" with a strong message of forgiveness (spoiler). You don`t want to miss being part of this epic tale, directed by Harvey Johnson.

When you fill out the Audition Sign Up Form, we will send you some scenes that you can review. Pick a character you like and get familiar with the lines. Then, come to the Greathouse Theatre (basement of the Miller Building) Wednesday evening 7-9pm and we`ll explore the text together.
