The Program in Theater Arts offers the opportunity for an imaginative and rigorous engagement with the arts and disciplines of theater: acting, directing, playwriting, design, technical work, dance, and scholarship. The program combines work in the classroom, in the studio, and on the stage. Performance is the testing ground for what is learned in the classroom and the experiences, from student-generated workshops to fully-mounted productions by Theater Arts, Dramashop, and Playwrights-in-Performance. All these activities are guided by a professional faculty and staff, often with the enriching participation of guest artists.
