International Theatre Production

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in International Theatre Production at Ohio Northern University is a unique program focusing on the areas of theatrical design, production and stage management including the many variations of theatrical practice that occur in different areas of the world. By exploring the cultural and practical differences in theatre production, our students will gain a better understanding of not only theatre here in the United States, but also, overseas, and in the areas of opera and touring production.

The program facilitates this diverse approach by hiring in designers, directors and playwrights from around the world. In past years, guest artists have come from Scotland, Iceland, Estonia, Portugal, Ireland, Mexico, and England. The opportunity for our students to be able to work closely with these artists, coupled with symposiums, master classes and other formal instruction is the foundation of our approach to teaching.

The curriculum is modeled along the lines of a traditional B.F.A. program, with the addition of a required overseas internship, as well as the opportunity for international touring experience. The program frequents the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on a revolving cycle.

Double Majors with other academic programs are permitted.
