The theatre arts program offers comprehensive study in theatre history, dramatic literature and criticism, and performance and production skills. Coursework is complemented by opportunities to participate in productions directed by faculty, visiting artists, and students. The major in theatre arts prepares students for careers in the professional theatre, for graduate studies in theatre, and for a variety of other careers that demand the analytic, creative, and interactive skills developed by theatre majors. Students also have the opportunity to audition and/or interview for positions in Theatre on the Hill, the College's professional resident summer theatre company.
