MFA Drama - Directing

The Directing Program fosters the talents of exceptional theater directors looking toward the past, present, and future of theater. With training spanning playwright-centric and generative processes, we seek directors who are creative engines of the projects they undertake and demonstrate passion, resilience, leadership, and collaboration. Successful candidates will have a strong instinct for visual storytelling, work collaboratively with actors and designers, have articulated passions for ideas, language, visual art, and music, and possess solid foundations in dramatic literature and theory.
