Our diverse array of co-op and global learning opportunities allow Theatre students to combine classroom theory with real-world experience and artistic knowledge in professional theatres around the world.
From our own neighborhood on Boston’s Avenue of the Arts to master classes with Broadway artists, from our alliance with the Huntington Theatre Company to epicenters of theatre in New York City, London, and Paris, students have extraordinary opportunities to broaden their horizons and develop firsthand perspectives of the inner workings of professional theatre. These intensive, immersive experiences provide insights to the full breadth of the theatre landscape, allowing students to explore their interests and form connections that will serve as foundations for successful careers on stage or behind the scenes.

FAQ
Co-op students are assigned to a specific Co-op Faculty Coordinator. Coordinators work with students from their first year through their graduation year as a bridge between classroom studies and career goals, collaborating with faculty and co-op employers to match interests, talents and objectives to the most appropriate co-op positions.
By participating in the co-op program, organizations join the thousands of companies and institutions, nationally and internationally, who have become Theatre partners in education.
