Introduction
Our rigorous program of hands-on theatre experiences will enable you to refine your artistic techniques and develop creativity, confidence, and discipline that will serve you for a lifetime. Courses in theatre history and theory provide a comprehensive understanding of drama’s essential role in society.
Your program allows you to focus your attention on performance and technical/design courses, understand and appreciate dramatic arts from around the world and immerse yourself in the study of culture and creativity. Compliment your studies with courses in art, humanities, sciences and social sciences.
Customize your BA (Dramatic Arts)
- The BA (Dramatic Arts) allows for minors and a higher number of non-major courses than a Bachelor of Fine Arts – Dramatic Arts
- If you are interested in both art and science, a BA & BSc (Dramatic Arts) allows for double majors: one in art and one in the sciences
- Combine your love of drama with a management degree from the Dhillon School of Business if your goal is to influence business operations in the cultural sector
You will also have full access to cooperative education, international exchanges, independent and applied studies, as well as volunteer opportunities.
Performances
Participate in a dynamic season of theatre activities, including Mainstage productions supervised by professors, the student-run TheatreXtra series, and an array of practical workshops, play readings, public forums, and special events.
