1. Performance – Refine your talents and put your skills in full display with training in voice, movement, dramaturgy and the art of acting as a gift of self.
2. Self-expression – Learn to speak Shakespeare’s language with such skill, power, confidence and purpose that you’ll improve your self-expression in the real world.
3. Anthropological knowledge – Humanity’s greatest poets express the deepest and most profound longings of the human heart. By studying drama, you learn how to connect with your fellow man in the past, present and future.

*Shakespeare in Performance may and should be taken more than once because the course stages different plays and offers new theatrical and production work to students each time. For the same reasons, Shakespeare in Performance is cross-listed in HUMS, LITR, COMM, and THEA and fulfills elective requirements towards the minor.
An audition is required to take the Shakespeare in Performance course and earn the minor.
