The department believes that the study of drama, including dramatic literature, theater history, non-literary performance traditions, criticism, acting, design, directing, and playwriting, reaches its culmination in the theatrical event. The department chooses its projects accordingly, to further the learning experience of its students as participants in the process of production shared with an audience. Students are encouraged to experience all aspects of the theater, and to understand the quest for knowledge as an evolving intellectual and creative process of inquiry.
