Whether you're interested in teaching, acting, design, directing, playwriting, dramaturgy, technical expertise, technology, management or any other theatre path, our program offers a wide array of courses and practical experience that will prepare you for a career or further education.

Home to one of Utah’s largest theatre venues, plays developed at Weber State University, such as “Mockingbird” by Julie Jensen, have gone on to be produced across the country and to win national awards and recognition.

What You’ll LEARN at Weber

You’ll develop strong foundational skills in all aspects of theatre so that you are prepared to be employed as a lifelong artist no matter what twists and turns life throws you. Students learn to be inventive, manage projects and work with limited resources. Theatre also teaches you about the human condition, how to deal with very different people and that hard work has its rewards. Alongside developing your own unique voice as an artist, you will learn collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking.
