Quincy University offers a range of courses and practicum experiences in Theatre as well as a minor in the discipline. The minor is open to all students and is particularly recommended for those majoring in another area of the arts or in education.

The Quincy University Theatre Program provides education and expert guidance to develop appreciation and support of theatre along with a broad range of skills related to the creation and staging of dramatic works. Open to all students, the program emphasizes the application of knowledge within a context of the values of Franciscanism and the liberal arts with the goal of fostering individual excellence and respectful teamwork. The program imparts to students through practical engagement the power of the arts - and of live theatre in particular - to encourage dialogue and critical thinking, to promote the common good, and to be of service to others.
