Overview

Students in the BA in Theatre Arts - Design and Technology at Western Connecticut State University are encouraged to explore breadth and variety in their educational pursuits to enhance their understanding of the world around them and to give them greater career versatility as a graduate.

Quick Facts:

Diverse theatrical performances presented at WCSU include musicals and straight plays, ranging from classical to contemporary. Connections to the greater theatre community are promoted through sponsorship of professional training workshops and performances by guest artists.
Our proximity to NYC (one hour to midtown Manhattan) gives us an opportunity to make excellent use of its vast resources, including hiring well-known casting directors & agents for our annual Senior Showcase, Broadway choreographers for our staged productions, and various guest artists for master classes.
Many faculty members have worked extensively in the Broadway and TV community and have received Tony, Drama Desk and Emmy awards.
The theatre faculty also maintains close ties with professional organizations, activities, and research facilities within the area. Opportunities are regularly planned to introduce students to the professional environment through the connections.
