Stonehill College

Through the study in the humanities, education and collaborative arts, theater students enhance their personal development in several ways: A deeper understanding of the workings of the human imagination and emotions The use of the body and voice as a means of expression The complexities of interpersonal relationships as seen in art and life Experiential learning opportunities Theater students also have the opportunity to study beyond the classroom by attending professional performances in the Boston/New England area. In addition, the work of the Stonehill Theatre Company provides numerous hands-on learning experiences, both onstage and behind the scenes. By taking part in the production of plays, students’ sense of responsibility and self-discipline are further tested and strengthened. Participation in the Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival allows our students to compete in various areas including acting, design, tech, dramatic criticism and playwriting. Students may also collaborate with faculty in directing and designing main stage productions.
