The University of Montevallo Theatre program is a student-centered professional training program that prepares students for work in the performing arts industry. We are committed to a liberal arts foundation as an effective means of preparing students who want to pursue theatre as a life’s work. This commitment is reflected in the system of training that stresses the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of the theatrical performance and production process.
