The Theater program at Lang offers a liberal arts education focused on acting, directing, and playwriting, spanning classical works to modern and avant-garde performance styles. As both a student and creative practitioner, you'll study theater as a means of creating significance, explore its connection to social justice, and critically assess its place in today's world. Lang's Theater program encourages innovative exploration through interdisciplinary and international viewpoints, with a strong focus on community involvement and societal change. The coursework blends hands-on performance and production experiences with in-depth studies of theater history, theory, and dramatic texts. Continuing The New School's legacy of forward-thinking education, the program fosters both academic and artistic exploration while addressing pressing contemporary concerns.
Lang Theater students additionally gain access to resources at The New School's School of Drama, a professional training institution that hosts numerous performances, talks, workshops, and symposiums.
