B.A. Directing Webster University

Program Description

Directors are storytellers. As students of directing begin their journey toward a career in theatre, the coursework for Webster’s Conservatory of Theatre Arts Bachelor of Arts degree in Directing vigorously stresses the directing craft, while providing opportunities for students to discover stories they want to tell. Our directing program is highly specialized, combining elements of directing, acting, design, and stage management. Practical experience supplements classroom work, and Conservatory directors assist on professional productions, such as those at Repertory Theatre St. Louis, a nationally recognized League of Resident Theatre (LORT) organization. Combined with a senior semester studying abroad, the directing program provides a rich environment of learning for the student director, culminating with a capstone directing project in the final semester.
