Overview

Theatre degree is offered at Sarah Lawrence College.

Why pursue your MFA in Theatre at Sarah Lawrence College?

Our curriculum crosses the boundaries of design, acting, directing, management, performance, technology, writing, producing, voice, movement, civic engagement, and much more.
No two students’ course of study will be the same. Your individual program will be created in consultation with the program director in response to your background and interests.
We encourage collaboration and want you to bring your histories, experiences and stories into the ecosystem of the program, sharing in the development of new questions, political urgencies, and social engagement.
You’ll graduate from the program with a strong professional network and an understanding of how to situate and advocate for yourself in the field.
An emphasis on the development of original work provides you the opportunity to explore theatre-making from diverse creative perspectives, such as puppetry, improvisation, playwriting and collaborative creation.
You will benefit from our close proximity to the unparalleled offerings of New York City and connections with theatres and theatre organizations through internships and fieldwork experiences.
The Theatre Outreach program also provides opportunities for teaching placements in schools, colleges, senior centers, half-way houses and prisons.
We are consistently ranked among the Best College Theatre Programs by the Princeton Review.
