Production and Design Studio
The Production and Design (P&D) Studio in the Tisch Drama Department trains undergraduate theater makers in design and stage management. The P&D studio prioritizes a collaborative and bold approach to theater storytelling. Students in P&D receive conservatory-style training in their chosen discipline, which includes scenic, costume, lighting, sound design, and stage management. Concurrently, students gain a broader education in the liberal arts courses offered at NYU.

All students graduate from our program with a BFA in Theater. This practical training is a foundational component for careers in theater and beyond.
The P&D studio nurtures the art of design and management in live performance, and prepares students to become thinkers who will advance in the field of theater making. This preparation is achieved through a diverse and balanced curriculum centered on critical thinking, rigorous research, dynamic collaboration, and comprehensive design and management development.
Innovation, interrogation and investigation are pillars of the P&D studio. They are used to encourage students' passions and help them graduate as creative forces ready to join the world stage.
