The UMass theater MFA offers a hands-on professional training program with specializations in directing, dramaturgy, costume design, lighting design, and scenic design and technology. Students pursue a rigorous curriculum and practical experience alongside a faculty of committed teachers who have active careers in the profession. Our classes are small, allowing for personal mentorship and the opportunity to customize. Students collaborate extensively with fellow theater-makers in a production season that serves as a teaching laboratory. Our students can build extensive teaching experience, and most undertake internships with partner companies like Hartford Stage, Shakespeare & Company, Double Edge Theatre, and WAM Theatre.
