About the program

The Department of Theatre is a vibrant community of students, staff, and faculty, guided by values of generosity, integrity, respect, and rigor. As a hub for Creative Practice Research, we are dedicated to theatre and performance both as a living art and as an interdisciplinary system of inquiry. A Northeastern Theatre education aligns collaborative theatre-making (production, design, and performance) with academic study and practice-based research. Our students develop a rich foundation for meaningful and prosperous careers through experiential learning. We are committed to the ongoing pursuit of intersectional social and racial justice. We incorporate diverse methodologies, approaches, and measures of success. While we engage with the moment in which we live, we are constantly evolving, learning, and adapting.
