THEATRE (THR) The Bluefield College Theatre Department has a two-fold purpose. First, the department offers classroom training in both the practical performance aspects of theatre and the academic areas of theatre history and dramatic literature. Second, through regularly scheduled theatrical productions, the department provides working, hands-on training for all students. The Theatre major is designed for students who desire a field of study covering traditional theatre, for students seeking a career in the professional theatre or preparing for graduate study in either performance or academic theatre. The Theatre minor may be earned by completing a minimum of 18 hours in Theatre courses. The selection of these courses must include the following: THR 1413, 1023, 3013, 3023.
