The Bachelor of Fine Arts is a new program which offers more intensive training in three areas of concentration: acting, musical theatre, and design and technical production, giving advanced, highly disciplined students the tools necessary to pursue a career on stage or screen.

Bachelor of Fine Arts: Acting Concentration:

This concentration provides a rigorously structured sequence of study designed to support the actor in the development of a solid base of technique in a wide array of acting styles and methods. The curriculum is complemented by intensive training in movement and voice for the stage, and augmented by advanced study in all areas of theatre, including directing, playwriting, design, and technology. All courses are taught by a vibrant, distinguished faculty of working professionals, dedicated to partnering with students to achieve greater success, both at the University and in the world beyond.

From the first semester on campus, BFA students are provided considerable performance opportunities in the Main stage and Studio seasons, as well as in a performance showcase tailored specifically for first year students. With their extensive national and international connections, the faculty facilitates significant performance experiences each summer, including an ongoing internship with the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, and performance opportunities with the Teatro Nacionale in Havana, Cuba, the Utah Shakespeare Festival, and the Texas Shakespeare Festival.

Bachelor of Fine Arts: Musical Theatre Concentration

The Musical Theatre concentration in the Department of Theatre and Dance is committed to fostering a student's talent and technique in all aspects of musical theatre. Students enjoy the advantage of being a part of a vibrant liberal arts community with the added benefit of more intimate class sizes.

Designed to prepare students for a professional career or graduate study in musical theatre, the BFA allows us to continue our solid and successful musical theatre training while providing an environment for students seeking a more specialized curriculum in the three pillars of musical theatre: acting, singing, and dancing. Please note, the Academic Common Market is not available to students in the BFA-MT concentration.

Bachelor of Fine Arts: Design and Technical Production Concentration

The BFA Design and Technical Production concentration at The University of Alabama is a rigorous program designed to prepare talented and highly disciplined students for work in professional theatre. It offers competitive training in a collaborative environment. In addition to the required core theatre courses, the comprehensive curriculum includes all areas of design and technical production.

Beginning in their first year, students may be considered for a wide variety of production opportunities, including main stage productions in the Marian Gall away Theatre and MFA student-directed productions in the Allen Bales Theatre.
