Our theater program combines focused training with diverse opportunities, blending creative expression with intellectual growth. Students gain immersive, practical experience across all areas of theatrical production - a defining feature of our program. We teach both theoretical frameworks and hands-on techniques, equipping students for professional careers in acting and technical theater while emphasizing contemporary playwriting and direction.
The Theatre Program within the Department of English, Film, and Theatre balances specialization with versatility, fostering artistic and academic development. The University of Manitoba's distinctive approach integrates intensive practical theater-making with scholarly study. Our unique partnership with the Black Hole Theatre Company allows students to explore both theatrical creation and analysis.
