Forge Your Own Path

One of the fastest-growing Catholic colleges in the country, Sacred Heart University (SHU) in beautiful Fairfield, CT, offers a theatre major with tracks in musical theatre and acting, preparing graduates for thriving careers in a variety of fields. Industry professionals from nearby New York City and beyond help students master acting, vocals and movement in this all-encompassing major. A minor is also available with emphasis on the history and technique of acting.

SHU’s Theatre Arts Program presents 12+ full-scale productions year-round, with a special emphasis on new works and storytelling. In addition to TheatreFest, SHU’s original playwriting festival, students can work with new plays or musicals at different parts of their process. Whether it’s a reading with the playwright present or a full production, our students are excited to explore new works.

Each performance at our two state-of-the-art venues is professionally directed and presented to the campus and community. Participation grants are awarded to members of the Theatre Arts Program, with additional skill-based scholarship opportunities available.
