The Department of Dramatic Arts and its theatre
production arm, the Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT), combine
to create an exciting center for excellence in the dramatic
arts. Each year young theatre artists from across the United
States choose to pursue education, training, and production
experience through undergraduate and graduate study in the
Department of Dramatic Arts and CRT. The goal of the department
is twofold. First, it aims to provide the finest possible
professional training through classroom and studio instruction.
Second, it aims to supplement and enrich that classroom and
studio training by providing maximal opportunities for students
to obtain professional level production experience through
active participation in plays produced by the Connecticut
Repertory Theatre.
CRT is the production organization of the Department
of Dramatic Arts. Through CRT, the Department produces a subscription
series of plays and musicals during the academic year, as
well as a separate series of plays during the summer. In mounting
and producing plays, CRT operates in a manner that is essentially
identical to a typical regional repertory theatre and it does
so with similar artistic aspirations. In fact, CRT seeks to
maintain active, working associations with regional repertory
theatres whereby co-sponsored productions may originate at
CRT and tour to the co-producing professional theatres. The
CRT's contract with the Actorís Equity Association
permits our acting majors, both graduate and undergraduate,
to participate in the Equity Candidacy Program through which
many of them are eligible for union membership upon their
graduation.
