Study Theatre
UIW offers a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts, as well as a minor in Theatre. At UIW, Theatre Arts majors get hands-on opportunities to apply concepts and methods learned in coursework and enjoy individualized attention from their professors.
Make Theatre
We typically produce four plays a year and our students not only act in those productions, but also take on leadership roles in creating each production's costumes, scenery, lighting and sound. The Theatre Arts department views its production season as both an extension of its educational program and a site of artistic and intellectual expression to include major dramative genres and theatrical styles.
Enjoy Theatre
UIW students are encouraged to attend all Theatre Arts shows and productions with a free ticket to each event. Theatre Arts majors perform to the UIW and San Antonio community at events that usually sell out!
Be the Word in the World
Since our founding in 1881 by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word, we have challenged our students to think critically, explore curiously and to leverage their God-given talents to make positive impacts on their communities and the world around them.
Quality Education and Real-World Experience
Upon completion of their degree, UIW graduates are prepared to undertake specialized training in a variety of graduate Theatre Arts study areas or to pursue a career in professional theatre.
