About the department
Established in 1936, the Department of Dramatic Art is the second oldest theatre department in the country. Faculty members are both scholars and artists, teachers, and practitioners, constantly moving between the classroom and the theatre. PlayMakers Repertory Company (a nationally regarded LORT D theatre) is embedded within the Department, and the symbiotic relationship between them is at the vital center of the department's identity. The Joan H. Gillings Center for Dramatic Art is the crucible where students transform learning into practice every day. The mission is to educate students to think critically and write cogently about the creative and artistic processes of global theatre, its literature, and its history.
