Theatre Arts Department Overview
The Department of Theatre Arts believes in fostering theatre makers, not followers, through a well-rounded education that develops skills central to a 21st-century artistic market. While we encourage students to select a primary pathway within the Theatre Major, every student who graduates with a Hartwick theatre degree will earn experience in directing, acting, technical skills, dramaturgy, and more.
The department annually produces 10–15 student and two faculty directed productions. For show information or to reserve tickets call 607–431–4227 or email theatre@hartwick.edu.

Mission Statement: Hartwick’s Department of Theatre Arts engages undergraduate students in the creative, intellectual, and experiential practice of theatre within a liberal arts education. We prepare students to become versatile theatre practitioners equipped with the knowledge, skills, and experience to pursue careers as independent and collaborative artists capable of pursuing advanced education and/or working in the performing arts and allied professions.
Please note: Hartwick College focuses on offering fall, January, and spring term undergraduate courses in person, however circumstances may require us to offer a small number of courses in this department through distance education. In times of emergency, following regulatory guidelines, all classes may temporarily need to be delivered through distance education, including online. We also offer a slate of courses online in the summer to help our students make progress towards their degrees. With support from an academic advisor, students needing particular courses may have other online options as well. If you have questions about the way courses are delivered in your program, please contact your Department or Program Chair.
