Theatre
Montreat offers a minor in Communication and Theatre Arts including exciting courses in acting, directing, playwriting, ensemble work and more. Students can also take these courses as electives that will greatly enhance their educational experience. These courses provide excellent performance training for public speaking, teaching, communicating, or any career that requires presenting yourself effectively in a public setting.
 On-Campus Performance Opportunities
Once a year there is a Montreat College mainstage production that offers performance and technical support opportunities for freshmen on up. In addition each semester there is a showcase of student theatre work. There are staged readings of scenes written by student playwrights. Each acting class and directing class presents a showcase of scenes for the college community that shows the culmination of their semester's work. This provides some exciting experiences of theatre that is written, acted or directed by Montreat students.
Touring Theatre Ensemble
The Montreat College Theatre Ensemble provides further training in acting and its application in a worship arts or ministry setting. On alternate years a select ensemble of students perform theatre that enhances worship in chapel or church settings, provides programming for youth in the community or offers performances in the local prison.
