To study theatre is an attempt to approach and comprehend our humanity. Theatre as
an academic field holds to the core values of artistry, discipline, collaboration,
discovery, diversity, and community. Theatre majors develop skills such as close reading,
disciplined and accurate analysis, and spoken and written presentation of coherent
argument. Responsibility, discipline, focus, technical expertise and a strong capacity
for collaborative teamwork are all developed through the study of theatre.
