Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, Film, and Digital Production

University of California, Riverside (Business)

The Department of Theatre, Film, and Digital Production offers a B.A. in Theatre, Film, and Digital Production. The major focuses on three broad areas of theatre and film: literature, history, and criticism performance, design, direction, and technology and the elements of production. Students have the opportunity to write, perform, direct, and design. Four stages are available for rehearsals and performances: the 500-seat proscenium University Theatre, the 125-seat Studio Theatre in the Arts building with state-of-the-moment equipment for facilities, and the 125-seat Rehearsal Lab.
Students are able to practice acting in faculty-directed shows, student productions, and class presentations. Special projects and studies are offered for advanced students to produce an original work or to study in more depth acting, directing, design, or playwriting.
As part of the Theatre, Film, and Digital Production Department’s ongoing goal to provide a comprehensive and world-class program in the performing arts, a Film Making Track is offered for students who are primarily interested in pursuing the goal of becoming filmmakers. In addition to taking classes in filmmaking, screenwriting, acting, and technology, students will also take classes in literature and theory as requirements.
