The artistic staff of The Old Globe Theatre, long involved in educating, training, and developing actors, has joined with the University of San Diego to create a program specifically addressed to the minds as well as the voices and bodies of aspiring actors. This program provides the classical skills and the rigorous literary grounding that classical drama requires, thereby meeting the needs not only of the Old Globe Theatre itself but also of classical theater nationwide. This is a highly selective program, usually limited to 7 or 8 new admissions per year.
All courses carry three units of credit.
Globe Production Courses will be undertaken either at the Globe or at USD, under the supervision of the Director of the program with the advice and consent of the Oversight Committee for the MFA Program. Periodic evaluations, apart from the normal grading process, will help determine the advisability of students' continuing in the program. Includes research, consultation, and rehearsal work. Workshop exploring the particular skills required to perform a chosen genre of dramatic literature. The theatrical genres and skills studied vary from year to year.
