Department of Theatre Arts
The Theatre Arts major at Centenary University offers its students a comprehensive, process-centered curriculum in the study of theatre
Centenary is home to Centenary Stage Company, a nonprofit professional theatre group.
This unique relationship gives our Performance Studies students the opportunity to:
- Act right alongside professional actors, including Broadway veterans, in Centenary Stage Company productions.
- Train in three distinct performance venues in the Carol and David Lackland Center, widely considered the premier theatre of its kind in northwest New Jersey.
- Perform in groups ranging from our touring Young Audience Series to main stage productions.
Learning by doing
“Learning by doing” is the philosophy of all of our Theatre Arts programs. We believe that teaching students as much as possible about all aspects of the theatre will only enhance their career opportunities.
In fact, Centenary University and Centenary Stage Company have been lauded in publications including the New York Times and Star Ledger for our dedication to getting students on stage and at performances.
