Overview

Key Features

Since this Theatre Education program at Mississippi University for Women is geared towards Theater Educators, the basis of the thesis project will generally be a K-12 school production that the MFA candidate is either directing, producing and/or designing.

However, even though it is designed for Theatre Educators, it is open to all Theatre Practitioners, whether in Professional, Academic and/or Community Theatre.

All courses will consist of instruction in the theoretical, critical and practical aspects of all facets of Theatre, as well as a pedagogical unit focused on developing lesson plans, modules and teaching strategies for each area of study.
