Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies (Honours)

University of Guelph

The Theatre Studies program is a component of a liberal education, and is dedicated to integrating academic study and theatre practice. The program offers introductory and advanced courses that combine theory and practice with an emphasis on educating well-rounded theatre creators for both the academic and professional spheres. Students will have the opportunity to work on both scripted and devised productions and do in-depth research and analysis. Rather than a focus on individual disciplines such as acting, directing, design and technical theatre, the program integrates this knowledge into a series of variable topic courses that examine performance from various perspectives. Many of these courses have presentational or performance outcomes.Theatre Studies graduates have special skills in storytelling alongside practical experience in production. They can apply their knowledge in almost every creative industry, in addition to managing teams due their experience in communication, project management, and team building.Here are a few careers our graduates have successfully pursued: Actor, Game designer, Drama teacher, Filmtvtheatre productionDigital marketer, Playwright, Costume designer
