Theatre Studies/Theatre (Combined BA/MA)

Two students are on stage enacting a play.

The combined program in Theatre is designed for students who want to reinvigorate their previous theatre experience, pursue their disciplinary passion for the first time or prepare for subsequent doctoral studies. The concentration surveys both the history of theatre and dramatic literature while providing opportunities for hands-on training. Our proximity to Manhattan allows us to attract an outstanding full-time faculty and prominent guest artists who work closely with students each semester. Montclair State is also home to the renowned Kasser Theatre’s Peak Performances, where graduate students have the opportunity to connect with the work of internationally renowned artists and companies in the Peak Performance series such as Robert Wilson and The Abbey Theatre.
