The Department of Theatre Arts incorporates a range of academic experiences from theatre history to performance, from playwriting to directing, from design to dramaturgy. Students engage in actual production work from the moment they decide to become involved with the department, whether that’s as a first-year student or as an upperclassman. Kalamazoo College’s Theatre Arts students graduate with both an academic grounding as well as the complementary hands-on experience preparing them for their future careers.
