About Theater Studies

Want to explore the ways that theater has changed the world? And how it expresses and reflects human culture, relationships and behavior?

The Theater Studies concentration focuses on the theory, history, and practice of theater as a part of the larger context of art and culture. Coursework will not only focus on theater, but also study other arts including visual arts and film, to better understand the various elements and forms of representation that influence and affect the creation and reception of the interdisciplinary art of theater.



CLASSES YOU COULD TAKE: Basic Playwriting, Basic Directing, American Drama, Survey of Greek Drama, Development of Modern Theater, World Cinema Movements
