Drama offers a versatile way to communicate and connect with an audience. Rather than using drama to appeal to ungodly desires or serve as cheap entertainment, Maranatha offers dramatic productions as an avenue for analyzing literature, reinforcing biblical truth, and presenting a Christian worldview in thought-provoking ways. Students in this minor sharpen their skills in communication, problem solving, organization, group dynamics, performance, analysis, and artistic design. Whether you picture yourself putting on school programs, acting in community plays, or directing church productions or pageants, the dramatic productions minor will help you communicate effectively through visual productions.
The Dramatic Productions program is designed for students majoring in another field (e.g., Elementary Education or Church Ministries) who want to learn important skills for directing or assisting with dramatic productions in school, church, or beyond. The minor culminates with a public presentation of a student-directed senior recital program.
