Honing your gift for theatre requires classwork combined with plenty of hands-on experience. CTP delivers both. Our program presents classwork that focuses on the fundamentals of theatre in your first two years, then progressively targets your strongest skills as you grow.
Classwork is always intertwined with technical, design and production experience. You grow in knowledge as well as the practical application of that knowledge simultaneously. CTP is a thorough preparation for graduate school or a professional career.
