If you think all the world’s a stage, the theatre arts department at Furman University will help you expand the depth and breadth of your creative process.

Under the guidance of our outstanding faculty, you’ll combine a strong liberal arts foundation with a comprehensive understanding of the theatre experience. That means you won’t just study acting, design, or technical production. You’ll study it all. Because at Furman, we’re not just preparing you for opening night. We’re preparing you for every stage that awaits you in life.
