Theatre: Brown/Trinity Rep Acting and Directing

Actors are not the only artists in theater, nor are they the most important, but all artists in the theater (playwrights, directors, designers and actors) start from the premise that the essence of our art is actors engaging with an audience, and that our common goal is to explore and enhance the live, communal experience that is at the heart of theater.

The course of study combines the best aspects of conservatory training with the practical experience of a three-year internship at a professional theater, enhanced by the academic courses and credentials supplied by a university degree program. Students graduating from the program should have the skills necessary to work as actors, directors, teachers or a combination of all three. Brown/Trinity Rep will not be accepting Directing applications in the fall of 2019. The next open application cycle for the Directing program will be in the fall of 2020.

Brown's special collections: Harris Collection of American Drama, the Sidney Albert Shaw Collection, the Smith Magicana Collection, three theaters, eight studios, departmental library, Harvard Theatre Collection, easily accessible resources throughout New England and in New York City, as well as downtown Providence theater spaces.
