Overview

At Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts Theatre, they believe the theatre artist of the future is a theatre maker who fills a myriad of roles and uses more than one way of thinking. Their skill set is diverse and multi-faceted, allowing them to understand, adapt, and excel at a variety of different tasks.

Key Features

Theatre artists in the twenty-first century are interdisciplinary. Actors produce their own work, designers act and direct, directors design and choreograph, an entire company of artists may be involved in the writing process. This approach allows artists to express themselves more creatively and opens them to a wide array of career possibilities.

Students graduating with a major in Theatre will be able to demonstrate:

Knowledge of theatrical traditions and theories in their respective historical contexts, including the ability to analyze, interpret, and critique theatre texts and performance practices.

A broad-based skillset in all facets of performance and production.

A high level of skill in at least one of the following theatre-making areas: performance, design, or production.
