Overview

From films to Fringe theatre, from political rallies to smartphone videos, we relate to the world by performing and by observing others’ performances. As a Theatre and Film Studies major, you’ll study performance in a range of media, cultures and historical periods, and engage with the process of conception, design, production and reception of performance. Your Theatre and Film Studies major will begin in your second year, following an exploratory general first-year program called Humanities I.
