Scholarships and Opportunities- Snow College offers academic scholarships for all students who have the GPA and ACT scores to support that determination. All scholarships awarded through the Department of Theatre are in addition to that possible outcome. Theatre scholarships aren’t limited to that consideration though and are available for students with quality work and acceptable academic merit.

Our theatre program has two main tracks currently. Our performance track has many exciting opportunities that are available as soon as you walk in the door. From musical theatre and improv to devised theatre and directing, there is a wide spectrum of involvement. With growing interest in film and digital theatre, we also offer classes in acting for the camera and further projects in videography. 

Our Design/Tech track offers high impact roles on the production team for our main stage season. These amazing opportunities to be involved and hone one's craft are afforded uncommonly early in a young artist’s career at Snow College. Designing lights or sound, managing props or rehearsals, even to the degree of designing costumes or scenery for a main stage production; If done right, the Design/Tech track offers substantial portfolio building opportunities of fully realized projects.

Our established format for a four-show season includes two straight plays (which vary between classical and contemporary and a myriad of genres) staggered with two musicals (which often are delineated through the scale of the production. Our “tent pole” large scale musical benefits from a healthy collaborative relationship with our NASM accredited Music Department.) We look forward to our 2024-2025 season of “Persuasions”, “Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief”, “Anastasia", and “1984”.

At Snow College’s Department of Theatre, we believe our size is beneficial to our students. Incoming freshmen are welcomed into our program with ample amounts of opportunity to be involved, which adds to a production quality well above our assumed level. Being among the ranks of a small number of instate institutions accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST), we can guarantee a high level of professionalism and production quality on stage and in our classrooms. With affordable tuition and fees mingled with a more personable professor-student ratio, it’s no surprise that Snow College has been distinguished as one of the best colleges in the nation.
