Beyond the basic.

Each academic year, Hartwick Theatre will enter one or two of productions in the Kennedy Center/ American College Theatre Festival. Hartwick theatre students have presented at ACTF Region One festival conferences. January Term off-campus classes are offered in New York City and England. And students are encouraged to pursue the many internship and apprentice opportunities offered by professional theatre companies in our region and beyond.

A closer look.

A great deal of learning in theatre arts takes place outside the classroom: in the rehearsal hall, in the shops, and in our two performance spaces. Student shows, faculty-directed plays, and student club productions provide as many as 20 production opportunities a year. Our Standardized Patient Nursing/Theatre Arts Collaborative Learning & Teaching Project brings theatre and nursing students together to enhance nursing care simulations.
