Theatre Student Opportunities

Experiential Learning

Co-Op

Our array of co-ops allow Theatre students to combine classroom theory with real-world experience in professional theatres around the world. From our own neighborhood on Boston’s Avenue of the Arts to epicenters of theatre in New York City, London, and Paris, students have extraordinary opportunities to broaden their horizons.

Dialogue of Civilizations

Students in the Department of Theatre can spend several weeks in the summer focusing on intriguing topics ranging from costume and fashion design in Paris to acting in London.
