Welcome to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Directing & Producing)

If you're a creative, self-starting collaborator with an interest in theater making and management, the Directing and Producing Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program atAvila is the best place for you. We offer one of the only undergraduate programs in the U.S. that combines directing, playwriting, stage management and producing in one major.
Students in Avila can take a deeply interdisciplinary approach by collaborating with other schools within the University. In addition to making full-scale productions, musicals and plays, many students branch out into other areas of the university to strengthen their theater making capabilities. Some make and produce music, some make films, some compose scores, some choreograph, some build sculptures that turn into installations.
Graduates with a Directing and Producing BFA can find themselves working in a variety of roles. Some career options for those pursuing theater making include:

• Playwright
• Dramaturg
• Artistic Director
• Stage Manager
• Casting Professional
• Director
• Producer
• Theater Manager
• Theater Teacher
