The
Schreiner University Theatre Department offers students a variety
of coursework in theatre basics leading to a major in theatre, a
chance to direct in their junior and senior years, as well as participating
in all the other vital aspects of live-theatrical performance (i.e.
lighting, set construction, stage managing, sound, costumes, etc.)
Schreiner's Hanszen Fine Arts Theatre averages four productions per
year (two per semester), each rendering students an outlet to develop
their acting and technical abilities within an intimate setting
with a capacity of 75-100.
Dr. Sullivan, who has studied under Dr. Oscar Brockett at the University
of Texas at Austin and Dr. Paul Baker, formerly of The Dallas Theatre
Center at Trinity University, has considerable theatric insight
due to extensive on-stage experience in television and on stage
specializing in choreography and directing. Though she directs at
least one play per semester, many performances are student-directed
with Dr. Sullivan available for advice and technical supervision.
For
theatre majors, there are internships available through two regional
theatres: the Smith-Ritch Theatre at the Hill Country Arts Foundation
and at Playhouse 2000.
A few of Schreiner University's recent productions include:
Equus | Caucasian Chalk Circle | The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man
in the Moon Marigolds
Productions from the not-so-recent include:
The Glass Menagerie | True West | Crimes of the Heart | Tally's
and Son | After the Fall |
J.B. | Endgame | The Chairs
