Are you a student looking for good breadth courses? The Discovery and Big Ideas Courses have space in them at this point!

Otherwise all of these are fair game for anyone looking for a great breadth experience.

Each day we deepen our practice by developing full-bodied and whole-hearted skills: the technical needs of an actor (voice, speech, physical movement, and character development) and the personal cultural awareness and communication habits of an activist. We will activate our imaginations, give voice to stories of injustice, and move the classroom community from page to stage, from company membership to civic leadership.

Interactive theater training and performance mixed with multicultural and communication skills prepare us for deeper artistic, academic, and activist work in o...
