I see little of more importance to the future of our country and
our civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist.
-John
F. Kennedy
All members of the Department of Theater and Dance at Case Western
Reserve University are strongly committed to educating
students in the art and technique of theater and dance, developing
artists who have a mastery of craft, breadth of vision,
and liveliness of thought. The liberal arts education
we offer our undergraduates provides a solid preliminary
preparation for careers in the performing arts and
related endeavors, while the Master of Fine Arts
programs prepare students to become esteemed artists
and leaders in their respective professional worlds.
We take great pride in our contributions to the university community
as well as the local, national, and international artistic communities.
These contributions include on-going efforts to develop knowledgeable,
articulate, responsive audiences for drama and dance, and for the arts
in general; to place before our audiences a rich diversity of cultures,
beliefs, and aesthetics; and to provide a stimulating and collaborative
environment for the faculty and the students of our program to develop
together as artists, scholars, teachers, and learners.
So, if you seek a world class education with many opportunities for
scholarship assistance, study abroad experiences with prestigious institutions
like the British Academy of Dramatic Arts, other semester away study
possibilities with America's leading arts organizations such as the
National Theater Institute, and collaborations with top notch artistic
institutions such as the Cleveland Play House and the Great Lakes Theater
Festival, we offer you the opportunity to become part of a university-based
producing theater with integrity and a keen sense of artistic adventure.
We are looking for a talented, motivated, and diverse group of students
to take up the challenge and join our programs. Your journey as an
artist is one we are eager to share as we reshape theater and dance
training in America and strive toward full recognition of the place
of the artist and the arts in our society.
