The Drama Program (Specialist, Major, Minor) offers
students the opportunity to combine high standards of practical, professional
theatre training with a rich and rigorous academic program. The Program
offers courses in dramatic literature, dramaturgy, 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 also provides a specialist
alternative 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: 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
Undergraduate 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.
