At Pitt, we create teachers and philosophers of theatre. All of our graduate students teach a diverse range of courses ranging from performance to history, literature, and criticism, all with a focus on developing pedagogical skills.

Our graduate students work on the cutting edge of theory. You'll work side-by-side with renowned scholars and acclaimed theatre professionals in a variety of workshops, seminars, and individual mentoring programs.
PRACTICE
Our graduate students combine their academic research with active theatre work, often in self-developed projects. Here at Pitt, we believe that true philosophers of theatre should study theatre within the cultural context of live productions.
