Drama, Concentration

The Drama Concentration offers an opportunity for non-drama majors to expand and further their knowledge and experience in Drama in addition to their major program of study.

Our rigorous Drama program offers individualized instruction from professors who are working professionals in the American theater. We produce plays from the repertoire of theater literature pulling from the most stimulating artists, forms, and visions from the world of drama. We create well-rounded theater artists through a broad education in the multiple disciplines of theater while still allowing for intense focus on a single discipline. Alums from our program have worked in every discipline at every level – from Broadway to TV and film.
