What is Renaissance Theatre?

So you want to know more about Renaissance Theatre? Well you've come to the right place.

WHAT DO WE DO:
Our goal is to produce Broadway quality shows for our community and provide a great learning environment for students who are passionate about the arts and theatre. We perform multiple major shows a year, from Broadway Musicals, to shows for elementary school students, to improv nights, to religious shows, and everything in between. Each student who is a part of this program will be able to perform MULTIPLE times each year.

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT:
Lots of ways:
1. We offer SCHOLARSHIPS!!! Lots of them. Each students who is a part of Renaissance Theatre will receive a $6000 yearly scholarship to be a part of our program. In fact, we scholarship students at the exact same level as athletic programs. The running back for the football team and the performing arts student gets the same scholarship. What's better than that!!!
2. Bethel College doesn't have a theatre major, so we mostly have students who are interested in getting their degree in one of our fine academic degree programs offered here at Bethel. Our students will leave college with a marketable degree and a great education, a long with an extensive list of theatre experiences which will make them attractive to potential employers.
3. We care about the individual student! Our goal is for every student to be succesful in whatever career path they choose. We will help you navigate through the academic challenges, as well as helping you navigate through life in a new place with new people. Each student is important to us as an individual.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO JOIN:
That's easy. Send an email to hancockn@bethel-college.edu and we'll arrange an audition! Also, you must fill out an application to Bethel College. CLICK HERE TO GO TO BETHEL'S WEBSITE! You can also call 731-352-6414 for more information.
