Overview

This deep look into society through the lens of Theatre Arts at Kalamazoo College will teach you to critically think about and consume media, give you the tools needed for self-discovery, and the communication skills to turn ideas into action.

You learn these skills through creative and analytical courses that teach the fundamental and advanced techniques of acting, writing, directing, stagecraft, and set design. Ensuring a breadth of knowledge, you will explore dramatic literature—across cultures and regions—from classics to contemporary.

Outside of the classroom, the department encourages you to take advantage of the experiential learning opportunities available to you: taking part in campus and off-campus productions, performance-based student organizations, and drama study abroad/away programs.

Productions offer you hands-on experience in acting, set design, stage management, technical areas, and directing. Each term, the department arranges at least one full-length production, open to majors and non-majors alike—including student-written pieces, guest directors, as well as your favorite classics.

Taking your learning off-campus, the College has over 50 study abroad and away programs for you to choose from. Notably, you can go to Queens’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland or spend a term in New York City. In both programs you will work with local theatre groups and production companies to gain first-hand experience with how the industry works.

The project management, collaboration, communication and problem-solving skills you gain at K will set you apart as you join the legacy of alumni who have chartered successful careers as playwrights, directors, producers, lighting designers, sound designers, dramaturgs, theatre arts administrators, and so much more.
