Message from The Chair...

Arnold Aronson, Chair

The Theatre Arts Program attracts students of acting, directing, playwriting, dramaturgy, producing and management who have the talent, vision, and commitment to become exceptional artists. At Columbia they interact with some of the leading creators, practitioners, producers, critics and scholars of today's theatre. Our students train in traditions deeply rooted in the classics, while at the same time branching out into new forms and exploring the cutting edge of theatrical art and industry. Theatre is an international art form, drawing on diverse cultures, and our student body has significant international representation. Theatre is also a collaborative art and we strongly promote interaction across the Program, while providing for intense immersion in each student's chosen concentration. Ultimately, our goal is to provide each student with the foundation for a career in professional theatre as well as the tools to embrace an ever-changing theatrical landscape and shape the future of the theatre.
