Develop Your Talents

Shenandoah's rigorous theatre programs equip you for highly successful professional careers in the theatre business. Your talents are nurtured and challenged by our professional faculty and staff, whether your major is in performance or design and technical areas. Graduates from Shenandoah's theatre programs work on Broadway, in regional theatres, on national and international tours, on cruise ships, as well as in film, television and commercials.

At Shenandoah, we engage you from the first day you arrive on campus. A robust season of musicals, plays, and youth theatre productions on two stages keeps you active and involved and helps you hone your skills in a practical setting. Hands-on attention from faculty and a belief in cultivating the individual artist–as opposed to the "cookie cutter" approach–prepares you to compete in the industry with the confidence that comes with knowing how to market your unique "brand."

Theatre Faculty

Caring and Accomplished

Shenandoah Conservatory’s Theatre faculty are fully immersed in creative practice and engaged in cutting edge scholarly work within the diverse fields of theatre. Highly respected as artists, educators and scholars, their studio classes and rehearsals are richly informed by professional practice, as they are frequently engaged in professional theatres as actors, directors and designers. Our faculty have literally “written the book” about entrepreneurship in the theatre profession and are world-class experts in acting techniques. They accompany students to theatre festivals and performances both within the United States and abroad, and frequently invite casting agents and guest directors to campus. Students graduate with a strong network that supports them as they transition into the “real world” of professional theatre.
