The Theatre Studies program is a component of a liberal education, and is dedicated to integrating academic study and theatre practice. The program offers introductory and advanced courses that combine theory and practice with an emphasis on educating well-rounded theatre creators for both the academic and professional spheres. Students will have the opportunity to work on both scripted and devised productions and do in-depth research and analysis. Rather than a focus on individual disciplines such as acting, directing, design and technical theatre, the program integrates this knowledge into a series of variable topic courses that examine performance from various perspectives. Many of these courses have presentational or performance outcomes.
Analyze plays, attend professional productions, study theatre history, and act and participate in technical work in Theatre Studies. Theatre Studies offers students the opportunity to participate in productions as an actor or as someone working behind the scenes. The program provides opportunities for students to study in Stratford Ontario, with coaches from the Stratford Festival. Students also have the opportunity to attend productions and meet professionals working in film and theatre.
