Theatre Joint Major

The study of theatre at Franklin & Marshall College embraces all aspects of dramatic art as part of a liberal arts education. Interdisciplinary by nature, theatre studies allow all students to develop aesthetic responses and abilities in understanding and making dramatic works of art. The collective aesthetic and intellectual activities that make up the work of theatre, including reading, writing, discussing, creating and performing, help students develop skills necessary for useful, collaborative, and productive participation in society.

The theatre program at F&M integrates theory and practice as students develop historical knowledge, creative and critical thinking skills and combine them with current practices in performance, playwriting, dramatic writing, design, andstudies in drama.

Introductory courses, as well as departmental productions, are open to all College students, including those without previous theatre experience.
