Overview
What is Acting at WVU like?
Description
The Master of Fine Arts in Acting at WVU is an intensive three-year course of study.
The School of Theatre and Dance accepts a limited number of students to the program once every three years. The small class size promotes a high level of individual attention and creates an intimate and strong ensemble. We are a process-oriented program, providing an environment conducive to risk-taking and experimentation.
The MFA acting students are the core of the casting pool for five to six main stage productions as well as up to ten workshop and second-stage productions per year. A typical MFA student will perform in as many as six to eight main stage and multiple workshop productions in their three years at WVU.
