THEA 4615 - Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA)

Students will explore the historical and contemporary canon of dramatic literature written specifically for the field of TYA - Theatre for Young Audiences.

These concentrations will help prepare students for working in professional theatre for young audiences, youth theatre programming, and educational outreach projects in public schools or community environments.
