Welcome to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre)

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) is the standard higher education track for those who seek a profession in the visual, fine, and performing arts. Admittance into B.F.A. programs are highly competitive. 
Those who complete a B.F.A. in theatre are typically more prepared for their craft and profession. The Wall Street Journal reports that those with a B.F.A. have “‘surprisingly high’ income levels, job prospects, and levels of job satisfaction.”
PBA’s distinguishing factors include all-encompassing training in performance and production, emphasis on redemptive aspects of drama, the new Summer Repertory, and PBA Children’s Theatre; all making the B.F.A. in Theatre at PBA attractive to the serious theatre student who is also Christ-centered.
Currently, PBA Theatre is producing seven shows per year, four main stages, two children’s theatre productions, and one summer repertory production.
