Bachelor of Arts - Theatre Studies (GKG) (3 Year Bachelor's Degree)

The Theatre Studies program at the University of Guelph is a degree option within the B.A. Program and is dedicated to the integrated study of both academic and practical applications of performance and theatre.

The Theatre Studies program at the University of Guelph cultivates critical thinkers, theatre artists, and creative performance makers engaged with people's media saturated world.

The interdisciplinary curriculum, taught by leading academics and practitioners, synchronizes practical classes with critical and historical studies connecting performance to people's everyday lives. Students explore a range of approaches balanced between performance and production including: writing for performance, site-specific devising, acting and directing, puppetry, scenography, and digital performance creation. Collaborative thinking and artistic entrepreneurship culminate in a student-led ensemble final year production. The university's recently renovated performance facilities give students a professional quality sandbox in which to play and learn; reimagined performance spaces—including virtual ones—foster student innovation. As the disciplines of performance and theatre evolve, the program welcomes new technologies, methods, and languages to provide dynamic and unique educational experiences.
