| Description: | The Department of Theatre offers two graduate programs, one leading to a Master of Arts (MA) in theatre, and the other to a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in directing for the theatre. The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in directing focuses on the practice and theory of directing. It allows students to develop their skills in the art of directing, and offers the unique opportunity to study both English and French theatre practices and traditions in a bilingual and bicultural setting. The program is designed to prepare students to work as directors in both the professional and academic theatre. Both programs are offered full-time and extend over two years. They can be pursued in English and in French. |
