Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre, the Theatre Department is committed to providing an educational foundation based on the traditional liberal arts. Through study in the theory, history, literature, production and performance of theatre, it aims to develop a student who is prepared to think critically, communicate effectively, and work competently in a range of theatre activities. With this broad range of experience, the theatre major is prepared to pursue an advanced education, or careers in theatre-related fields. Students may choose from emphasis in acting/performance, design/technology, or directing/administration. All theatre majors are required to participate in the Kean University Theatre Series productions. An audition/interview as well as periodic assessment reviews are required of all Theatre majors.
