Training
•BA in Musical Theatre integrates the three musical-theatre disciplines — acting, music, and dance — in a Christ-centered curriculum within LCU's Department of Theatre (Division of Media and Communications)
•Acting coursework grounds students in the Uta Hagen and Stanislavski methods
•Interdisciplinary BA model pairs studio performance training with a liberal-arts foundation rather than a conservatory track
•Department led by Tabitha Huffman, MFA
