Drama Studies Mount Allison University

Program Description

Drama studies shows new perspectives, challenges, and touches a person– as one's lives and the issues faced are reflected back in new and surprising ways. At Mount Allison, students involved in drama studies are challenged to work creatively, exploring new means of communication and expression – all within a cooperative collaborative environment. Students begin their studies with an introduction to drama, followed by courses in: acting, production, directing, design, dramatic theory, and dramatic literature. In the final year of a major in drama studies, students will complete their degree with one or two independent projects in areas of special interest. This will allow them to work with a mentor from the faculty or staff to design and execute a major theatrical project in writing, design, directing, management, or acting. The new multi-functional Motyer-Fancy Theatre typically hosts up to ten shows each year, performed and crewed by students, with direction and design by a mixture of theatre professionals and senior students.
