Theatre Northwest is like a family business and a home to students who are perfecting their craft with each performance as well as in the classroom and labs. Theatre majors successfully find work as professional actors, directors, and designers. Students jump into productions during their first year to accelerate their profession-based learning experiences. First-year students have the opportunity to participate in a mainstage play during their second week of classes.

“I chose the speech and theatre education program at Northwest because of the many exciting theatre opportunities given to me and how my education can be crafted to fit my personal interests. In my first year, I acted in several productions and have already had the opportunity to be associate director of a mainstage production.”
