Course Description
The NU Theatre Program offers courses designed to equip students with a solid understanding of the theatrical process in an atmosphere valuing individual growth. Students learn to work cooperatively as members of an ensemble, to appreciate the many arts of the theatre, and to focus their creative energies. While the training is geared toward students at all levels of experience, theatre is approached as a serious art form demanding commitment and dedication.
