The BA in Theatre Studies offers students a flexible and individualized approach to their degree. Students may pursue a general course of study, exploring many aspects of theatre, or they may focus in one of our areas of concentration: Stage Management, Directing, Playwriting, Theatre Management, and Dramaturgy. Students plan their course of student in collaboration with their advisor. In the Senior Year, students complete a capstone project reflecting the development of their skills and their artistic voice.

BA students gain production experience through the Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT), the production arm of the Department of Dramatic Arts, as well as through student projects. CRT offers opportunities for stage managers, assistant directors, and dramaturgs. Those interested in theatre management can work alongside CRT staff, studying topics such as audience services, publicity, and company management. BA students direct and produce original plays in our student-led

projects. They may also audition for CRT productions and student-led productions, and act as assistant designers.
