The Dana College Musical Theater major may be just the opportunity you were looking for!

The Dana College Musical Theater major is nearly unique in the Midwest. Our program is one of only two in the state of Nebraska (the University of Nebraska-Kearney is the other) and one of only five in states contiguous to Nebraska.

The major in Musical Theater allows talented students the opportunity to develop their performing skills while majoring in another discipline that may provide career alternatives.

A minor in theater arts is selected by students from a wide variety of majors and is recommended for anyone who is planning to continue performing on either the community or professional level, is preparing to teach literature, history, religion, psychology, sociology, art and/or music, is seeking a career in interacting with the public and/or continuing their education in graduate school.

The faculty consists of active performers in the Omaha area, including OE Award nominee Dr. Paul Schneider and renowned dancer, teacher and choreographer Michelle Garrity.

• Dana College is not your typical small college theater. Our performers have the opportunity to be on stage as many as five times a year.
• Students receive a BA degree, making them considerably more marketable upon graduation than students graduating from BFA programs.
• Scholarships are available for committed students. The ability to read vocal music is required.
• Auditions may be scheduled at any time through the Dana College Admissions Office, 402-426-7222 or 800-444-DANA.
