Overview

At Theater from Case Western Reserve University you’ll start the program with foundations of theater from Greco-Roman times to Romanticism and the global impacts of the art form, then delve deep into American drama history or contemporary studies.

Quick Facts:

Over the years, students have analyzed topics such as gender in theater as well as the relationship between television and theater, and musical theater direction. Regardless of your course of study, our multi-talented faculty—whose performance venues include experiences with The National Theatre, the Stratford Festival and Shakespeare Theatre—are there to guide you at every stage.
Cleveland is home to the second-largest performing arts district in the United States and is often among the first national tour stops after Broadway. But in addition to that employment opportunity, you’ll have access to incredible theaters around Northeast Ohio as well, including Karamu House, Cleveland Playhouse and more. Students have also gone on to teach at community colleges, serve as marketing directors for performing arts institutions, and pursue their PhDs in the field.
