Master of Arts [M.A] [Theatre] From University of Nebraska Omaha

“The true purpose of theatre is to create myths, to express life in its immense, universal aspect, and from that, to extract images in which we find pleasure in discovering ourselves.”-Antonin Artaud

The overall goal of the program is to help our students develop a deeper understanding of their roles as theatre artists by studying and applying theory and criticism, history, and literature to their work as actors, directors, designers, dramaturges, or scholars. We emphasize the interaction between scholarship and production. All of our students work in multiple disciplines in preparation for Ph.D. work or careers in professional, academic, or community theatres.
