Drew senior theatre arts majors have the opportunity to spend a semester studying and interning with a theatre company in New York City or another location in the metropolitan area. Each internship involves a degree of responsibility and a variety of tasks, allowing the student to gain a working knowledge of the professional theatre as both a business and an art. During the semester, regular meetings and seminars are held with program participants, supervising faculty, and theatre supervisors to examine the student's work and discuss various topics relating to the professional theatre. In addition to the internship and its activities, students in the program write several research papers under the direction of a faculty supervisor. The Theatre Semester courses and other internship opportunities are described in the theatre arts course listings.
