History: Theatre has been an integral part of the FAU experience since its founding in 1964 and<br />
that tradition continues today. We endeavor to look at our students as individuals. As such, we<br />
will consider your individual aspirations and goals as we help you become the best artist you<br />
can be. We believe in a holistic approach to training that, regardless of specialty, requires some<br />
practical study in all of the areas of theatre and dance production and our students are<br />
encouraged to become involved in the creation of theatre and dance from their first day on<br />
campus.<br />

Theatre Program, and offers professional opportunities to faculty and students working closely<br />
with the resident professional theatre company partner on campus, Theater LAB. The<br />
department produces through our four theatre spaces, including a new renovated 500 seat<br />
proscenium theatre, our 150-seat black box theatre, and two smaller 80 seat black box theatres.<br />
