In the intimate, liberal arts college setting of MCLA, the study of theatre cultivates critical thinking and a spirit of inquiry. Innovative courses and student learning opportunities give students the chance to explore ideas and take intellectual and creative risks while developing essential values such as collaboration and leadership.
The program’s vigorous production season and community outreach programs provide strong student, faculty, and community interaction, as well as a variety of excellent educational and cultural experiences. Through the unique, multi-disciplinary art form of Theatre, students access the vital artistic life of Berkshire County.
The Theatre Program's mission is to offer students access to professional theatre study in an small public liberal arts environment. Through the rich tradition of theatre, our program combines traditional and experiential learning to develop innovative theatre artists prepared for careers and graduate study in the Berkshires and beyond.
