B.A.
Program in Theatre and Performance Studies
The
Department of Theatre and Performance Studies offers a Bachelor of Arts
in Theatre and Performance Studies, with tracks in performance (including
acting, storytelling and performance art), musical theatre, design/technology,
and directing. The major provides student artists with a foundation in
theatre as an historic, global, and aesthetic form, through the study
of a variety of performance texts and styles, from classical and modern
drama to musical theatre, folk and literary narratives, performance art,
and classical and contemporary poetry. Emphasizing the interrelationship
between theory and praxis, the major prepares students for entry into
the profession or for graduate study in theatre or other related fields.
