DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre

Minor in THeatre


As a theater major at Connecticut College, you are immersed in the art, craft, and theory of theater – acting, directing, design, technical theater, playwriting, dramaturgy, and dramatic literature. We have three theater spaces on campus, and the creative process of making theater is happening in at least one of them at any given moment. The liberal arts offer limitless ways for you to explore connections with other disciplines that will enrich your theater studies. You develop a strong working relationship with your professors. They direct and critique your performances, and are available for ongoing consultation and discussion. At Connecticut College, theater is an investigation that inspires you intellectually and creatively, and the working relationships you build can last well beyond your time on campus.

Faculty Info:

Kenneth Prestininzi, Alison Andersen, Virginia Anderson, David Jaffe, Sabrina Notarfrancisco, Nick Roesler.
