Musical Theatre
The Musical Theatre program is a special composite study of Dance, Music and Theatre, which leads to an Associate of Fine Arts degree. True Musical Theatre programs are rare throughout the country, so Western is proud to have one of the best. Some of the classes offered are: Acting, Acting for Musical Theatre, Music Theory, Singing for the Actor, Modern Dance, Jazz Dance, Tap Dance, Ballet, American Musical Theatre History, and many more. Every year Musical Theatre students perform in musicals, non-musicals and our resident dance company. One of these productions goes on tour around the Rocky Mountain Region every year. These production opportunities give students the chance to use their education in a practical and enjoyable way.

Technical Theatre
Our award winning Technical Theatre program leads to an Associate of Fine Arts Degree OR a One-Year Certificate in Technical Theatre. These programs teach students about set construction, stage lighting, sound technology & design, stage rigging, stage management, scenographics, set design, welding for the theatre, electronics for the theatre, and many other related courses. Technical Theatre students provide the technical support for all of the department’s productions. They build the sets, paint the drops, hang, focus, and program lights, and set up and run sound. All of this work is a pleasure in our extremely well equipped, multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre facility.
