ASSOCIATES PROGRAM
The two-year Associate’s degree provides students with two years of exceptional communicative and theatrical education. Students will take online courses while touring with the Logos Theatre Touring Company from August to May. During their first two years, students will work to write and direct 8-9 minute cuttings which will be performed in their second year as the completion of their Associate’s degree. Students may also have opportunities to help with productions at the Logos Theatre when they are not touring.
BACHELOR’S DEGREE
The third-year Bachelor’s program provides students with specialized training as they work alongside a creative team to write, direct, and debut their own full-length production in The Logos Theatre. During an Associate degree student’s second year, each student will be given the opportunity to audition for entrance into this exclusive program. A maximum of 5 students will be selected. This program will not only challenge students to grow personally and spiritually but will also inspire them to grow their skills in communication that reflect the nature of our God!

The one-year GAP program provides students with training in all aspects of theater (lighting, sets, props, makeup, costumes, acting, directing) as well as counseling and discipleship. Students will train at our home base in Taylors, South Carolina, from June to August; then, starting in September, they will travel across the United States with our staff team leaders ministering and teaching in one-week dramatic word seminars until May. GAP students will end their tour at graduation in May and receive a one-year certificate to represent all they have learned and accomplished throughout the year.
