About Theatre in University of Kentucky

Students get hands-on training and one-on-one mentorship from a professional theatre faculty. Our liberal arts focus is coupled with ongoing career counseling to ensure successful transition from campus to professional life. Students are encouraged to find their passion and pursue it – many students participate in internships and study abroad opportunities as a core component of the undergraduate experience.
