UIUC’s Theatre Studies BA nurtures critical and creative voices that shape the future of performance. Students dissect global theatre histories, dramaturgy, devising, and stage management, while collaborating with the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on professional-level productions. Interdisciplinary electives in design, media, and social justice inspire innovative storytelling. Alumni excel in directing, producing, arts administration, and script development across theatre, film, and immersive media.
