At Crandall, we believe in a grand-narrative, a story that has been playing out since the act of creation. We also believe that humans have the natural capacity to understand and respond to stories which are at the heart of our program in Theatre.

The Theatre program at Crandall is rooted in the concept of storytelling – the narrative. We believe that humans often chart a path toward truth through storytelling and we welcome you to deepen your understanding of the narrative and hone your skills as a storyteller as you participate in the Theatre program.

Program highlights

Strategic Partnership with Rosebud School of the Arts

In order to expose you to a world-class experience in theatre that is firmly rooted in the Christian faith, Crandall University has partnered with Rosebud School of the Arts (RSA) in Rosebud, Alberta. After having completed 2 years of study (60 credit hours) at Crandall University, you will spend one full academic year at RSA.

While you complete 30 hours of study at RSA that will transfer into your degree program at Crandall University, you also have the option to complete an additional 4 credit hours to earn an acting certificate from RSA.
