Theatre, Minor
Saint Louis University's theatre minor combines coursework in all aspects of theatre with practical hands-on experience working onstage, in shops and backstage.
Students in SLU's theatre minor explore both performance and technical work in a dynamic, active, social environment in and out of classrooms. Theatre minors enjoy the same opportunities as majors in terms of participation in the theatre program's busy production season, and take classes alongside theatre majors in classes taught by working professional faculty.
