Introduction
The Drama Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) offers students
the opportunity to combine high standards of practical, professionally-oriented theatre
training with a rich and rigorous academic program. The Program offers courses in dramatic
literature, dramatury, stage theory, theatre history, production, design, direction, and
performance. Students are required to take structured combinations of courses interrelated
so as to lead to a broad knowledge of the field as a whole. The Combined Specialist
programs in English and Drama and French and Drama also provide specialist alternatives to
Drama alone, while a Drama Major or Minor may be valuably combined with programs in a wide
variety of other fields, as offered both by language and literature departments (English,
French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, etc.) and other departments and programs
such as Anthropology, Canadian Studies, Cinema Studies, Classics, Commerce, Fine Art,
History, Music, Psychology, Religion, Sociology, and Women's Studies.
The Drama Program is housed in the Helen Gardiner Phelan
Playhouse at University College. Besides providing instruction in theatre studies, the
Drama Program has mounted international theatrical events and conferences, and its
students have toured Europe and Asia. The Program has also forged links with leading
Canadian theatres and has regular contact with world-renowned international theatre
artists. More details on the Drama Program, including application forms, can be found on
the web site at: http://www.library.utoronto.ca/uc/ucdp/drama.htm.
The Program Director and Academic Undergraduate Secretary are also available for
consultation. For enquiries or an appointment call the Drama Program secretary at
416-978-8099 or send an e-mail to uc.drama@utoronto.ca
DRM courses are staffed by a combination of theatre
professionals, members of other university departments, and specific DRM staff members.
Some courses are restricted to students in a Drama Specialist, Major, or Combined
Specialist program; some are open to all students of the University.
