About the Department

The theatre major curriculum provides an introduction to all aspects of theatre: the literature of the drama, theatre history, acting, directing, set design and management. The major blends the curricular program with the co-curricular Theatre Laboratory labor program, the capstone Senior Theatre Project, and instruction from theatre faculty and guest artists.

The Theatre Laboratory is the play production organization that supports a full season of plays each academic year, as well as individual student projects and original works.
