The English Department has been the home of the Theatre Studies Program for over 25 years. In 2004, the Department made a commitment to Theatre. Since then, the Theatre Studies Program has undergone a complete overhaul. The Program is now focused on developing practical performance skills and advanced theatre skills, such as directing and criticism.
Currently, there are two Theatre Studies courses cross-listed with English and open to all students. As well, students can complete a Minor in Theatre Studies.
It's easy to get involved in theatre on the 91探花 campus, through Vagabond Productions, the production company for the Theatre Studies Program, and/or through the 91探花 Theatre Society, which is the student-run extracurricular theatre group on campus. Over the years, both have produced popular shows. Visit our website to find out about auditions, see photos of past shows, and find out how to get involved.

The course structure presented for this program is a recommended, unofficial progression for prospective students.
A Minor in Theatre Studies consists of twenty-one (21) semester hours of credit taken from the list of approved courses. Theatre 2440, Theatre 3440, Theatre 4560, and Theatre 4440 are compulsory for the Minor. Prospective students should note, however, that Theatre 4440 requires students to make a significant contribution to a Theatre Studies production, or another production approved by the Coordinator of Theatre Studies. Theatre 4440 will, typically, be only offered in the Winter Term of the academic year. Students enrolled in Theatre 4440 will be under the direct supervision of the Coordinator of Theatre Studies, or an approved supervisor. In addition, students must select three elective courses. Students using any of the approved courses to complete the Minor in Theatre Studies may not also use them to complete a Major.
NOTE: Students who are in the Majors or Honours English programs must take at least one elective outside the English Department.
