About this program
The Theatre Arts program at MIT invites students to explore theater as a contemporary artistic practice within an intellectually rich continuum of traditions in the performing arts. The program engages performing arts as a mode of inquiry into self and society, with the intention that it can become a vehicle for transformation. Theater Arts at MIT is process-oriented and interdisciplinary at its core, committed to a rigorous and innovative course of study across a diverse spectrum of creative practices. The curriculum offers a wide range of courses in theoretical and applied practical aspects of theater, including acting, performance studies, voice, movement, performance media, script analysis, playwriting, directing, and design and scenography. Students gain artistic, technical, and intellectual skills through studio classes, stage and screen work, supplemented by the Artist-in-Residence Program through the Center for Art, Science and Technology (CAST), which brings internationally renowned artists to MIT for classes, seminars, workshops, and productions. The program also offers a Minor in Theatre Arts and a Theatre Arts Concentration for students pursuing interdisciplinary study.
