BA Theater

Theatre will provide you with the knowledge and training to work in theatre. Broadway isn't the only place you'll find work; musical theatre performers can perform in traveling shows, cruise ships, regional theatres and more. As a set of staged practices rich with social context, theater has sought to document, engage, and affect communities. This course introduces and explores theater from page to stage as a live performing art. Topics include the relationship between theater and society (historical and contemporary), dramatic structure, theatrical representation, and the crafts of theater artists such as directors, designers, playwrights, and actors. Students will also engage with live performances and video archives of past performances.
