If you’re eager to become a better theatrical performer, producer or technician, IWU’s theatre program is the perfect place for you. Our mission is to equip, engage and entertain our audience through stories that explore the artistic and spiritual dynamic of the human experience.

You can concentrate in one of two areas—performance or technical theatre. Our program focuses on giving you professional experience, and you’ll do that through acting, directing, writing, designing and stage-managing.

The Opportunities are Limitless

You can earn either a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre or a Bachelor of Science in Theatre from Indiana Wesleyan University; a minor in Theatre is another excellent option that will complement your studies at IWU.

Participate in the Theatre Guild, IWU’s theatre organization, as early as your first semester, or travel with the Theatre Guild to theatre festivals throughout the country. Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
