Theatre at Ozarks
Design! Direct! Act! That is the motto of students in the theatre discipline at Ozarks. Every season this motto is put into action as the University Theatre troupe produces three main stage shows, participates in the American College Theater Festival, and presents a series of student-directed one-act plays. And the action doesn't stop when the spring semester ends -- students also have the opportunity to serve in internships across the country and attend summer workshops.
Ozarks theatre students study acting in a variety of styles, including comedy, tragedy, musical, melodrama and farce. They can participate in student-directed mainstage shows, and may be given production responsibilities, including scenery design, lighting and sound control, and designing costumes and makeup. All this takes place in the University's Walton Fine Arts Center, a state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar theatre and performing arts complex with three theaters for student productions.
So if the sight of the curtain going up on a brightly lit scene makes you dream of being on stage, come join in the fun at Ozarks. We think you'll be glad you did!
Student Organizations: Students interested in theatre can join one of the campus theatrical groups, the University Players, or University Theatre troupe. These groups are open to all students.
