The UCF Conservatory Theatre seeks to develop theatre artists of the highest quality. We provide our students with the training, education, and experiences necessary for the successful pursuit of professional theatre careers. Our goal is to develop and graduate student artists who are sensitive, aware, and total human beings by providing our students with conservatory training within the context of a Liberal Arts education. A well-rounded education involves an understanding of our place in the universe, and insights into the human condition, without which it is impossible for artists to interpret dramatic works accurately, sensitively, and with true artistry.

Our program is designed to give our students a competitive edge by:

• Providing intensive classroom work in theatre theory and practice, along with personal experiences designed to develop theatre skills of the highest quality.

• Providing extensive practical production opportunities that develop student skills in performance, design/technology, stage management and theatre administration.

• Developing high artistic standards in our students, faculty, and staff through production and classroom work utilizing professional guest artists and teachers. The use of professional guest artists and teachers is also essential to the establishment of a student's "professional theatre network."

• Creating and maintaining a professional environment necessary for the continued growth and development of our students, faculty, and staff.
