<p>How are theatre studies there?
Do they even consider acting/ theatre a major?
thanks</p>
<p>Harvard does not offer a major or minor in theater studies or acting, however they do offer a major in dramaturgy. Even so, Harvard has very active theater community: [HRDC:</a> Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club - Fall 2009 Season](<a href=“http://www.hrdctheater.com/season.php]HRDC:”>http://www.hrdctheater.com/season.php)</p>
<p>^ not true, there is a minor in theatre arts.</p>
<p>From the American Repertory Theater’s website:</p>
<p>"The AMERICAN REPERTORY THEATER (A.R.T.) is one of the country’s most celebrated resident theaters and the winner of numerous awards — including the Tony Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and numerous local Elliot Norton and I.R.N.E. Awards. In 2002 the A.R.T. was the recipient of the National Theatre Conference’s Outstanding Achievement Award, and in May of 2003 it was named one of the top three theaters in the country by Time magazine.</p>
<p>Founded by Robert Brustein in 1980, over its twenty-nine-year history the A.R.T. has welcomed major American and international theater artists, presenting a diverse repertoire that includes new American plays, bold reinterpretations of classical texts, and provocative new music theater productions. The A.R.T. has performed throughout the U.S. and worldwide in twenty-one cities in sixteen countries on four continents. It has presented over two hundred productions, over half of which were premieres of new plays, translations, and adaptations.</p>
<p>The A.R.T. is also a training ground for young artists. The theater’s artistic staff teaches undergraduate classes in acting, directing, dramatic literature, dramaturgy, design, and playwriting at Harvard University, and in 1987 the A.R.T. founded the Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard University. In conjunction with the Moscow Art Theater School, the Institute provides world-class graduate level training in acting, dramaturgy, and voice."</p>
