Program Overview
The undergraduate program in Theater and Performance Studies aims to provide a robust, non-conservatory program that joins the study and practice of performance within the context of a liberal arts curriculum. The department gives students a firm grasp of historical, cultural, and practical contexts in which live performance develops. With close faculty contact, department majors pursue areas of interest that may include acting, directing, writing, dance, devised theater, design, stage management, performance theory, and cultural studies.
