Why study in theatre

Theatre is a fundamental and always pertinent mode of expression of Canada's cultural identities, whether Francophone or Anglophone. As a multidisciplinary art form, theatre includes playwriting, acting, directing, as well as the various technical specializations that allow for its practice. As a living art form, it embraces theoretical modes of thinking, and is nourished by multiple historical traditions. Contemporary practice is defined by these very dynamics. Theatre, more than ever, is the crossroad of formal and aesthetic research.
