Why pursue the B.A. in English with a Concentration in Theatre?
The English program offers a concentration in theatre at the Florence and Tuscania/Rome sites in Italy to help foster student creativity in one of the most enlightening literary environments in the world. Poets, novelists, playwrights, and essayists have flocked to Florence for centuries for aesthetic and intellectual inspiration. The theatre concentration prepares students for careers utilizing their analytical writing and performance skills in the theatre and media business. Students are given the opportunity, after completing the foundation in dramatic literature, to participate in an annual festival north of Rome in Tuscania, where they can experience all aspects of theatre production.

Why study Theatre at Marist-LdM?
This program offers students the opportunity to study international theatre as the written and spoken word combined with movement in the art of performance. The play, either composed in English or translation, is studied for its literary qualities and as a blueprint for production. Students will engage in new and exciting approaches to understanding the dramatic text as both literature and performance. While some courses include scene studies, others may be tied to on-campus productions and ongoing literary festivals throughout Italy.
