Why Study Theatre at The College of Idaho?
Students are actively involved in making theatre at The College of Idaho by participating in mainstage productions ranging from Shakespeare to contemporary plays to musical theatre. 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.
Performance Venues
Campus facilities 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.
