Theatres
Students pursuing a Theatre Degree on the Statesboro campus have opportunities to perform, design, and direct in the state of the art Center for Art and Theatre, a variable seating black box space that serves as our primary performance venue. In addition, the Performing Arts Center, an 800 plus proscenium venue, is also used for performances.
Our students are actively involved in creating theatre as they study it. Connection with production and classes occurs throughout the season. Students are given the opportunity to hone their skills and present their work in an award-winning performance and design program.
The Season consists of four mainstage productions, with a rotation of Contemporary and Classical work. Each season is chosen with an intention to bring opportunities to students that include African American Theatre, Shakespeare, and new works as well as a foundation in several genres and eras.
Our students are involved with the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (with several national award winners) and the South Eastern Theatre Conference (SETC) where we have a 95% placement rate for our technical and design students. Students have performed internationally at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and are encouraged to study abroad in England, Ireland, Italy and Japan with the support of scholarships.

About Our Program
Armstrong Campus Theatre minors may choose to specialize in acting/directing, or technical track disciplines. The curriculum includes script analysis, theatre history, design philosophy and technology, acting, directing and so much more. Our students build audition confidence and skills through the practice of auditions not only here on campus but also professionally through Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival (KC/ACTF), Georgia Theatre Conference (GTC), Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC), Institute of Outdoor Theatre, and University/Resident Theatre Association (U/RTA). Students also participate in theatre festivals hosted on campus, including Armstrong鈥檚 High School One-Act Play Festival.
In 2012, Armstrong鈥檚 Theatre program commemorated 75 years of performances dating back to Armstrong Junior College鈥檚 1937 town-and-gown production of 鈥淭hree Cornered Moon.鈥 Today, performances, such as those by our Masquers Theatre Troupe, can be seen at our theater complex, Jenkins Hall, located off Arts Drive. Jenkins Hall houses our 180-seat proscenium mainstage theater, cozy black-box theater and camera studio that serves our acting-for-the-screen and Film Production (MMFP) programs.
The Masquers
The Masquers student theatre troupe continues to fulfill its mission forged many years ago: to produce a season of plays each year to enlighten and entertain the Armstrong Campus and Savannah community. The Masquers is an organization open to all Armstrong Campus students regardless of academic major.
