The theatre curriculum is structured in a three-step process that:
  • Introduces students to the art of theatre, where they learn basic skills required to create effective works of theatre – either onstage or behind the scenes;
  • Builds upon skills learned in the first year while providing an overview of the world’s greatest dramatic literature in an historical and performance context; and
  • Applies and deepens the skills and historical background learned in the two prior years through actual production of a work of theatre in front of a paying audience.
In all theatre courses, class participation is expected and assessed. Students are asked to observe the world around them and to reflect upon and write about the impact of that world in the context of their theatrical experiences.
