Program Overview

The theatre major and minor are tailored to each student's interests. All majors and minors work closely with theatre faculty to determine a course of study that is designed for them. We consider each student's aspirations as theatre professionals and graduate students in top-tier MFA theatre programs. Many students plan to pursue non-theatre careers where production skills lead to success: law school, marketing, management, advertising, education, and a host of other professions.

Theatre majors and minors take courses that examine theatre both in theory and in practice. Students also take hands-on positions with Theatre Fairfield productions as actors, stage managers, designers, playwrights, directors, dramaturgs, and crew members.

Theatre majors frequently double major in English, psychology, sociology, history, communication, or modern languages. Students can even double major with the Dolan School of Business or add an education minor. A theatre minor fits with everything.

Students interesting in becoming theatre educators in the K-12 system can double-major in theatre and English and add a minor in Education. A fifth year of study leads to a Masters in Education, and students are ready to enter the workforce on a stable career path.

There are opportunities for internships with Theatre Fairfield, the resident company on campus. These positions give undergraduates insight into organizing crews, marketing shows, managing audience relations, and dramaturgy. In other words, theatre students obtain real-life experience in the business of theatre. In addition, students secure internships in neighboring New York City or right here in Connecticut.

When Fairfield’s theatre students graduate, they are prepared to keep working in theatre, as many of the University’s alumni have done. Alumni also build careers as managers, lawyers, educators — and do it with a competitive edge — and a little panache.
