The Honours (four-year) and General (three-year) BA in Dramatic Art programs will provide you with a strong, participatory liberal arts degree in theatre studies, with intense, practical work in one or more choices of scenery, lighting, costumes, stage management, arts administration and directing. Over your three or four years, your creative potential is explored and developed. This training could lead to the execution of major production and design projects produced by University Players on both the main stage and Studio Theatre. First year immediately puts you behind-the-scenes of University Players productions by providing you with hands-on experience in your Nature of Theatre lab. Theatre History courses are studied as well as introductory training in areas of theatre production. You may go on to take courses in all aspects of design. For those students who desire a broad exposure to the theatre, courses in acting, improvisation, contemporary theatre and Canadian theatre practice, directing and television production may also be taken. You may also wish to take advantage of our foreign exchange agreement with Plymouth University and spend an exciting year studying theatre in the United Kingdom. Numerous opportunities are provided to develop your skills in technical theatre through volunteer positions and course work experience, as assistant directors, stage managers, assistant sound and lighting designers, scenic artists, hair and makeup designers, costume assistants and in front-of-house management at University Players. In addition, there are student-run events to provide you with further opportunities to develop your production and design skills.
