Drama

• MAJOR PROGRAM IN DRAMA
• MINOR PROGRAM IN DRAMA

The drama courses have been devised to serve students who intend to major in Drama, students who intend to specialize in Visual and Performing Arts, and students who have a casual interest in drama and theatre.

We offer two types of courses which complement each other: theoretical and practical. The theoretical courses are in the history of theatre and in special aspects of theatre history and theory. In the practical courses, students become acquainted with all aspects of theatre production in studio situations, both as actors and technicians. Participation in public productions at the College is strongly encouraged.
