We push the boundaries. We love devising new work, reinventing the classics, and producing new plays. Our black box theatre is a laboratory where we experiment and explore. We don\u2019t duplicate the past; we create the theatre of the future.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible<\/h4><p>It\u2019s important that at Butler you not only grow as an artist, but as a person. Butler provides a strong liberal arts foundation combined with extraordinary experiences\u2014both on and off campus. Our theatre degrees are flexible so that you can double major, study abroad, undertake internships, and much more. You are empowered to create a customized experience that is perfectly tailored to your post-graduation goals.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Globally-Minded<\/h4><p>It\u2019s important that our students understand theatre from many diverse perspectives. We bring in experts from around the world who work closely with our students as part of our Christel DeHaan Visiting international Theatre Artist program. We also have many exciting study abroad opportunities, including an annual summer trip to The Moscow Art Theatre School.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heart of the Community<\/h4><p>We are at the center of a thriving arts and cultural community in Indianapolis. We have close relationships with artistic organizations around the city and our students have the opportunity to learn from and work with companies like the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the Phoenix Theatre, and Heartland Actors\u2019 Repertory Theatre.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yes, we do Musicals<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4><p>Many of our students\u00a0discovered their passion for theatre through musical theatre, and many of our alumni find\u00a0great success in performing in musical theatre all across the nation! We have always incorporated singing, dancing, and live music into many (or even most!)\u00a0of our productions. And students can study voice and dancing each semester through our outstanding School of Music and our renowned Dance Department.\u00a0Now join us as we commit to producing a musical on a regular basis beginning with an exciting production in fall 2017.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":20,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-105","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.2 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why Butler&#039;s Theatre Program?
