DEGREES OFFERED

Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies


Hampshire theatre is a process-oriented program that demands strong initiative and motivation from each student. The Theatre Program centers on active participation and production from the first year of study onward, rather than limiting it to third and fourth year students. Collaboration is strongly emphasized, and students from other concentrations are welcome to participate in productions. Theatre concentrators are responsible for all facets of the production process at Hampshire, from play selection to strike.
