Comments:
At the Conservatory, students will train with working professionals from Broadway, film, and TV in a program designed to launch their careers. The program offers a BFA pathway in acting, design, filmmaking, technical theatre, or stage management. Students may also continue their training with an MFA in screenwriting— gaining hands-on experience every step of the way.
From mainstage productions to black box theatre, students will have countless opportunities to perform, design, and create. Each summer, students will also have the chance to work with industry professionals at an immersive stock theatre in Okoboji, Iowa—earning credits and building a résumé before graduation.
