Theatre Arts

What if you could...

What if you could love being a theatre arts major, as one graduate said, because it makes you truly “feel part of something...”

Theatre Arts explores the creative power inherent in conjuring a world on stage

CRACK US UP

That’s the delicious assignment for students in our course Enter Laughing: Women, Men and Comedy. Learning and doing go hand in hand in this course that emphasizes producing great performances as well as understanding the theatre tradition.
No matter what your goal—acting, writing, technical production—you’ll be ready to collaborate because we immerse you in all aspects of theatre. Writers must understand acting. To direct you need to understand the person at the sound board, the light board. It helps artistically and on your résumé.
There’s a revolving door between London and our department. We had half our department recently on Drew’s London Semester. Students come back bursting with enthusiasm. Then they grab their friends and go to New York, Philly and Boston to see London-based shows. It enriches everybody’s work.
Our top priority is to let you pursue your own initiatives. Majors have written, cast and directed original shows with the support of seasoned professionals.
Theatre is social by nature. It’s based on relationships. You’re spending six nights a week for months working right next to each other. We know how to resolve problems and work together well. These are great life skills, not just for those in the arts.

Careers Made easy

on cue

We encourage you to wear as many hats as possible while you’re with us. You’ll graduate with skills in areas such as lighting, sound, stage design, writing—as well as performance. This flexibility can help you get those first opportunities.

Our majors take advantage of enriching internships near and far. Local opportunities include the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, a top professional company located right on our campus. Majors also intern in New York, Boston, Chicago, sometimes with fellowship assistance to help pay the way.

Our networking event, The Big Schmooze, is a chance for prominent graduates to come back and talk about life after Drew. There’s some noshing, some schmoozing, people exchange cards and phone numbers—lots of great connections. Even well-established alumni 10 to 15 years out are eager to help current students.

My major has had a tremendous impact on me. All of a sudden the play that I loved wasn’t merely great because of the dialogue or the characters, but because of what it said about theatre as an art form.

I know much more now about what it means to be a theatre artist, not just an actor. I discovered a passion for lighting design, and took classes in clowning and Shakespeare that broadened my vision of performance.

My Favorite Course

“Clowning is a very particular kind of theater centered around the idea of physical manifestation, rather than an intellectual approach. It is such a mercurial way of acting.
I love it.”

THEA 262 - African-American Theatre (2-4)

This class will chart African-American theatre from minstrelsy to contemporary performance. Throughout the course we will investigate the relationship between African-American theatre and the American socio-political landscape: How does theatre both reflect and shape its time period? How is African-American theatre influenced by or a reaction against theatre created by White artists? The texts examined will also be used to explore some fundamental questions about the nature and purpose of theatre: How have various African-American artists opened up new terrain both socially and aesthetically? Is theatre a form of entertainment or social protest or ritual? How can these forms be combined? In addition, we will look at the kinds of relationships explored in the plays: What types of racial or ethnic relationships are depicted? What about gender, sexual orientation, and class? Finally, we will examine the role of the African-American artist: How does one define African-American theatre-is.

Prerequisite: THEA 101 or permission of the instructor.

THEA 383 - British Political Drama (4) (Same as: ENGL 383.)

Under the premise that all theatre has a political dimension and works its influence on audiences both overtly and subversively, this course is designed to take advantage of the huge variety of productions available in London venues (not necessarily conventional theatre spaces), with a focus on the political questions they raise for twenty-first century audiences. Because the 1960s saw big changes on the theatrical scene in Britain it is taken as a starting point, and we see what we can of the playwrights who helped form our present day theatre through the twentieth century. Because it does not operate in a vacuum, appropriate plays may be chosen from other periods and cultures that address crucial global, social and political issues.
