Overview

Performance is not limited to theatrical production, the act is central to human nature as we move and function in the world. By pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Performance Studies from Governors State, students will learn to bridge theory with practice and the verbal with the visual. Whether in theatrical presentations proper or in everyday acts of living, they will be equipped as a transformative agent of social, cultural, political, and personal change. Theatre and Performance Studies (TAPS) students have the opportunity to participate in up to three student productions a year in GovState’s award-winning Center for Performing Arts, which also showcases nationally renowned performances. Each student's performance is carefully selected to engage the university community in interdisciplinary conversation and shows frequently sell out.
