The Theatre School's Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Acting is a highly truthful, yet expressive, physical acting program which prepares actors to work on both stage and screen. Informed by our Chicago roots, our program is a "toolbox" approach to actor training. The first year experience is about expanding the size of the actor's toolbox. The subsequent three years focus on providing actors the tools - skills and technique - while helping each actor discover and apply those which work best for him or her.
Students learn from a distinguished and award-winning faculty of working professionals who possess a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. Our faculty has spent many years developing successful, personal and powerful curricula that mine a diversity of ideas from Stanislavski, Spolin, Grotowski, Suzuki, Lessac, Linklater, Yoga, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais, Laban, mask work, and more. Students are inspired through unique points-of-view within a comprehensive four-year progression of acting, movement, and voice and speech curriculum.
