Description

Students immerse themselves in the collaborative spirit of the dramatic arts. Closely integrating course work with production opportunities, Bennington drama trains students as creative and versatile theater artists. Bennington College offers students a deep understanding of all different types of theater-making: acting, directing, playwriting, devising, theatre history, dramatic literature, dramaturgy, stage management, and design (set, costume, lights, projection, and sound). Taught by professionals accomplished in their fields, Bennington drama provides students an outstanding combination of small-class settings, centered on the inclusion of all the programs within the discipline.

At Bennington, you design your own course of study and work, taking full advantage of the College’s resources both inside and outside the classroom.
