DESCRIPTION

Theatre students at Hollins participate fully in every aspect of theatre production, including acting, musical theatre, design, directing, stage management, and technical production. At the same time, classroom work provides a solid foundation in history, theory, aesthetics, and technique.

Across the spectrum of the program, three complementary processes — the individual creative process, the collaborative process, and the critical/analytical process — are given equal attention. The course of study culminates in the senior project, which demonstrates the student’s knowledge of theatre, integrates formerly compartmentalized areas of study, and poses new questions and challenges.

ADVANTAGES

Our drama association consists of student actors, directors, designers, and technicians who seek to stimulate dramatic activities on campus and to assist in the staging of all departmental workshops and major productions, as well as productions of visiting dramatic groups. Hollins Players offers an opportunity for involvement in the theatrical events and stage works of all types to interest members of the Hollins community. Apprenticeship is available to every person expressing an interest in the organization, and membership is earned by subsequent work on productions.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Hollins’ theatre program provides a solid foundation for those wishing to pursue graduate level work in theatre, professional theatre apprenticeships, or any environment where creative problem solving, collaboration, and research/analysis skills are valued. The major and minor are compatible with many majors, including business, communication studies, dance, English, film, history, philosophy, and other majors.

FINANCIAL AID

Student Loans are available. 99% of Hollins students receive some form of financial aid.

SCHOLARSHIPS

The music department offers a number of scholarships based on an audition and recommendations.

CERTIFICATIONS

Hollins University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools

SUMMARY
