No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.
Student work—on and off stage—is an essential part of Tisch Drama’s culture and curriculum. We encourage our students to continually challenge their creative and intellectual capacities. At Tisch Drama, you’ll exercise performance skills by participating in department-wide and studio production lineups that include musicals, dramas, comedies, classical and self-created works. Depending on your field of study, you’ll delve into character, text, design, and music as you work to bring compelling stories to life.
Equally important are works and projects that take place in classrooms, lecture halls, and honors seminars. There, a rich theatre studies curriculum and offerings in the humanities and sciences enable Tisch Drama students to explore the history of the stage and examine performance traditions. Our students are given ample opportunity to discover and practice innovation. Below is just a sample of their work.
