Theatre Northwest is like a family business and a home to students who are perfecting their craft with each performance as well as in the classroom and labs. Theatre Northwest majors successfully find work as professional actors, directors, and designers in theatre. Students jump into productions in their first year to accelerate their profession-based learning experiences. First-year students have the opportunity to begin their first mainstage university play in their second week of fall classes.

I chose the Speech/Theatre Education program at Northwest because of the many exciting theatre opportunities given to me and how my education can be crafted to fit my personal interests. In my first year, I acted in several productions and have already had the opportunity to be Associate Director of a mainstage production.

First-year Student Showcase

The First-year Student Showcase play introduces audiences to Theatre Northwest’s new performing arts majors while orienting the students with the people and practices of the theatre program. As in the past 31 years, the production is performed by an all-first-year student cast with tech by new Bearcats as well. Previous productions include The Laramie Project, The Voice of the Prairie, Stop/Kiss, and the Diviners.
