Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Performance

University of Waterloo

Learn to wow your audience as you explore theatre and performance in one of Canada’s most creative drama programs. Go beyond art history books and collaborate with professors, visiting artists, and other students to make high quality work that contributes to a just society. You'll learn by doing, covering performance to management, design to critical studies, and creation to technology. In the classroom, courses in performance, production, design, direction, and management will give you the technical tools to excel at your craft. Meanwhile, complementary courses in politics, race, gender, theory, technology, and aesthetics will help you decide what messages matter. You can apply your knowledge to co op placements too. By the time you graduate, you’ll have a rich portfolio to take into the world of theatre, a range of creative, analytical, and management skills that will serve you well in any number of roles, on stage or off.
