York University

Students in the Theatre (BA BFA) program share a common first year, taking courses across various fields of theatre and performance. After the first year, students can branch into one of four specializations based on their interests and goals: (1) Acting Conservatory (BFA) (2) Production and Design (BFA) (3) Performance Creation (BFA) and (4) Performance Creation (BFA). Admission to some degree specializations is by audition or interview at the end of first year. Regardless of streams, students work together as actors, production and creative teams. Students planning to pursue graduate studies or teaching degrees are strongly encouraged to take the Theatre BA program.The Production and Design specialization in the Theatre (BFA) program features hands-on technical skills with creative aspects of theatre, such as set design, costume construction and stage management. The Production and Design specialization engages students in all elements of theatrical design and stage production. Studies in technical direction management complement sound, lighting, scenery, costume design, and construction courses.
