Arkansas State University-Beebe
The Speech and Theatre program provides opportunities for students to develop a wide range of communication and theatrical skills. These in turn enrich the student's academic, professional, and cultural life. Emphasis is given to the development of an intellectual and aesthetic appreciation for the human experience. Students may take advantage of these opportunities through enrollment in departmental courses or through participation in the co-curricular theatre productions.
Each year the ASU-Beebe Department of Speech and Theatre presents a series of co-curricular productions in order to enrich the educational and cultural environment of the student. Department productions are selected from a variety of historical periods, theatrical styles, and ideological viewpoints in order to provide our students with the maximum educational opportunities possible. These co-curricular theatre productions are educational laboratories. As such, they are designed to enhance student academic growth, artistic expression, and intellectual freedom.
Students are trained to reach high levels of achievement in their disciplines. The theatre program provides students with training in both performance and production skills. All students are encouraged to develop an appreciation of the role theatre plays in the development of culture.
