About this Program

Drama and its active practice, theatre, is an art form dedicated to expression and communication, which can serve students in a range of non-performative areas of study, such as education, business administration and social work.

Program Overview

The minor in theatre and drama provides students flexibility in their course selection, allowing them to create a track tailored to their interests. Topics range between history, playwriting, Shakespeare, film, performance and practicum, among others.

Students are also strongly encouraged to participate in Hood’s theatre season; this may include acting, stage management, technical theatre, design, directing, writing and any relevant area that a student might be interested in exploring.

Absolutely anyone is welcome to become a part of Hood’s collaborative and lively theatre program.
