The Suffolk University Department of Theatre offers the theatre major in both the BA and the BS, as well as a minor.

Our program combines practical theatre training with a comprehensive 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, management, 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 other enrichment activities.

Students are encouraged to obtain internships and professional placements to enhance the classroom experience. The Modern Theatre at Suffolk University provides students with professional internship opportunities on campus, in addition to other partnerships that the department has with professional companies.
