BFA in Puppetry/ Creative Dramatics/ Children's Theatre

The BFA course work includes intensive study in children's theatre; the practice of puppetry as a theatrical art form; and educational and creative dramatic activity as methods of learning and self-development for children. In addition to a broad-based curriculum in theatre studies, students work under the direction of a faculty member to operate a complete puppetry theatre with comprehensive study in a variety of construction, manipulation, historical study, and performance techniques. The Division’s Puppet Mobile tours the region while children’s theatre productions provide hands-on experience and performance opportunities.

Puppetry graduates work for the following prestigious companies: Walt Disney, Grey Seal Puppet Company, Animax Productions, Little Who Productions, Puppet Pizzazz, Houston Children's Festival, Theatre West Virginia, The Pittsburgh Children's Museum, Holden Puppets, Kids on the Block, and Nashville Sesame Street Live Touring.
