The Master of Fine Arts in Directing program combines rigorous professional training with a highly innovative curriculum. As a department committed to the development of new work, we believe that directing is both a generative and collaborative art form. Students work closely with the MFA Playwriting program candidates, developing and directing diverse new plays in classroom, workshop, and full-production settings.<br><br>Our focus is to train the theatrical leaders of the future: dynamic artists who understand and promote the development of new work, visionaries who believe in the transformative power of this art form.<br><br>Apply<br>Request Info<br>Toward this aim, we admit students with demonstrated expertise from a variety of theatrical and artistic backgrounds, who possess these vital attributes: They are socially conscious, personally disciplined and hungry for knowledge. They are willing to challenge assumptions and break through boundaries. They are storytellers, open to taking creative risks that deepen the sociological, political, and aesthetic impact of their work. Most importantly, they have lively imaginations and a passion for exploring the human condition. Through our course work and productions, we train directors to engage their own unique visions, while learning to make theatre that opens audiences to new ways of seeing and being in the world.
