The Theatre major is a generalist degree for the student who wants a broad and flexible theatre education experience. Theatre at The College of Idaho aims to provide many opportunities for students to use theatre as an instrument for personal, intellectual, social, and creative development.
Tap Into your artistic side! Participate in mainstage productions ranging from Shakespeare to contemporary plays to musical theatre.
Students are actively involved in making theatre at The College of Idaho. Scarlet Masque, a student theatre organization on campus, provides additional opportunities to hone your theatrical skills. Our comprehensive curriculum includes classes in acting, stagecraft, directing, theatre history, stage makeup, stage combat, and applied theatre (lighting, costuming, and scenery practicum). All the while, you’ll receive individual mentoring from professors who work professionally as actors, directors, and theatrical designers.
The College’s campus facilities supporting theatre productions include a 145-seat black box theatre that serves as the primary playing space for mainstage productions and classroom work, a 200-seat recital hall where musicals and operas are staged, an 850-seat proscenium house, a smaller student stage, and an outdoor amphitheater. College of Idaho theatre graduates participate annually in the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival.

I had dreams of going to college in a big city. But after meeting with professors at CofI, that changed. They encouraged me to apply for a scholarship, saying “we think you’d be great.” They didn’t even know me, but they were already giving me so much opportunity. I got the clear message that “hey, there’s a place for you here; we want you here; and we want you to be able to come here and succeed.”
