The Suffolk University Theatre Department combines practical theatre training with an expansive liberal arts education, preparing students for success in a wide range of careers. We support student initiatives by offering valuable hands-on experience in performing, directing, writing, designing, and other production work. To celebrate the diversity of educational goals pursued by Suffolk University students, the Theatre Department retains a policy of openness. There are no auditions for admission to the program and students from any major in the university are welcome to register for Theatre Department classes, audition for productions, and participate in tech crews.

The Theatre Department faculty and staff are working professionals who provide individualized instruction, mentoring, and a wide range of opportunities in and out of the classroom. In addition to classes and production work, the Theatre Department facilitates ongoing career development workshops, visits by guest artists, and lectures. We also schedule regular field trips for students to experience the highest quality classical, experimental, and international theatre.

The Department administers two majors, Theatre and Performing & Visual Arts, which may be completed by students pursuing either the B.A. or B.S. degree.
