Welcome...

A walk through our doors will allow you a wealth of theatrical experiences both in and out of the classroom. Whether you want to perform, design, direct, teach or otherwise work in theatre, Kean can help you turn your talent into a life's work, your passion into a profession, your dream into a reality. It is our common passion for theatre that creates a diverse group of students and an outstanding faculty who are working together to create a community that will help you discover the best in yourself and in others.

Accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre, Kean University's Department of Theatre mirrors the University's mission to provide a core educational foundation based in the liberal arts. Our major curricula are designed to educate theatre students to enter the realm of professional theatre, theatre education or advanced graduate studies.
