Applied Theatre (Minor)

Department Website

Program Description

The program in applied theatre offers students the opportunity to learn how performance has been and can be a vital adjunct to nontheatrical professions and cultural practices. It reflects the growing recognition that theatrical techniques and practices have wide and vital applications outside of the theatre as traditionally conceived, including education, medicine, therapy, political activism, community work, and social services.
