The University of Maine at Farmington Theatre program provides opportunities for students to learn their craft through work on actual productions, whether as actors, directors, or part of the technical crew.
Our Theatre program provides you with a working knowledge of theatre in the areas of performance (acting and directing), theory, history, criticism, and production experience through participation on technical crews in mainstage productions.
You will also learn the basic concepts of dramatic structure with the opportunity to write scripts and direct plays that are presented in a public forum in one of our two on-campus theaters: UMF’s Alumni Theater, an innovative black-box theater-in-the round style facility similar to what you’d find off-broadway, and the adjacent Emery Community Arts Center, which features moveable seating and state-of-the-art lighting and technical features.
The program prepares the student to become practicing theatre artists, lifelong learners in a global arts community and for graduate study.
