Theatre Studies

Students take a minimum of seven courses from a theatre studies curriculum that reflects the mission of the department, which is to give students the artistic and intellectual foundations necessary for a successful professional life in the theatre and allied disciplines. The intensive and rigorous training received in studio is contextualized within and enriched by a knowledge of the theatre as an art and an institution, with a history, a literature, and a vital role in culture.  Also, because we recognize that even the most talented actors and designers face formidable challenges in this exceptionally competitive profession, we prepare students to pursue other career choices within the field, including graduate study in fields such as theatre history, dramatic literature, and performance studies. The theatre studies curriculum consists of two required introductory courses, Introduction to Theatre Studies and Introduction to Theatre Production, followed by a minimum of five theatre studies courses in such areas as dramatic literature, theatre theory, performance studies


Courses below are current to FALL 2009

Spring 2010 courses will be updated soon.
