The Department of Theatre Arts is dedicated to nurturing New Paltz students' creative identity, artistic compasses, and inner artists/scholars through a dynamic, experiential, and diverse educational environment. The program aims to foster a deeper understanding of the human condition, cultivate empathy, and explore ensemble building through the department's curriculum, creative programming, and local/regional engagement. We offer students a unique, welcoming community that focuses on the power of collaboration while leaving space for the enrichment of the individual to risk boldly. Our faculty of educators, mentors,artists, and scholars provide students with models of excellence in our classrooms, studios, shops, on our stages, in major theatre centers in the United States, and in the global community.
For Theatre Arts majors, we offer a Bachelor of Arts degree grounded in history, literature, theory, and applied contemporary practices of theatre, giving relevance, context, and a wide array of perspectives and possibilities to a student's artistic endeavors. General education students and minors experience Theatre Arts as a multidisciplinary tradition embedded into a global, historical and cultural landscape.
