What do you get when you combine a group of actors, directors, designers, and technicians (who are also teachers), 80 undergraduate students, and a professional theatre company? An Exciting USI Theatre ProgramThe USI theatre program is one of the fastest-growing programs in the region. Because it is an undergraduate program, you will never have to compete with graduate students for roles, designs, or crew positions. And unlike programs at larger universities, full-time faculty, not graduate students, teach our classes. The USI theatre season is designed to introduce students to a wide range of theatre styles. In the past few years, USI has produced such diverse plays as Waiting for Godot, A...My Name is Alice, Tartuffe, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Blue Window, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, The Gift of The Magi, Lysistrata, A School For Husbands, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Buried Child, The Diary of Anne Frank, Endgame, The Seagull, On the Verge, and Miss Julie. See a complete listing of past USI productions. The current season schedule is now available. Each summer USI produces The New Harmony Theatre. Located in New Harmony, Indiana, about thirty minutes from Evansville, New Harmony Theatre produces three plays every summer with Equity actors based in New York and Los Angeles. USI students regularly serve at New Harmony in apprenticeship positions, thereby receiving their first professional experience.ScholarshipsEvery year, the theatre program interviews and auditions prospective students from within Indiana who plan to major in theatre. The faculty has the discretion to award new students four year renewable tuition-specific scholarships for up to $1000 if the faculty feels that the student has the talent to merit this support. Although the academic requirement is not as rigorous as other scholarships (students need a minimum high school GPA of 2.5), students must give strong indications that they are capable of doing college level work. Elliot Wasserman, Director of Theatre, is available to discuss options with prospective students. You may contact him through the information below or fill out the online form.Students who submit applications before March 1 and who have higher GPAs and are in the top 25% of their graduating class may be eligible for academic-based departmental scholarships. These students should contact Eric Otto at the Office of Admissions. Departmental scholarships are also available for continuing students. Kentucky students of selected counties are eligible for scholarships. Contacts:
