Design and Theatre, BA/BS at Northeastern University

Combine the production, performance, and art of theatre with design of messages, services, interactions, and experiences.

Offers a transformative education by aligning performance and production with academic inquiry and professional experiential learning. It is a community dedicated to creativity, collaboration, and excellence in the pursuit of innovative ways to see, to investigate, and to make theatre for a new generation through both classroom and experiential learning in areas of acting, directing, playwriting, and design practices. Designers are needed when we don’t know what is needed. They propose alternative futures and create new choices using design principles and processes to create, compose, and construct meaning. Seeking a broad understanding of principles and systems of perception, communication, and action, designers take a holistic and integrative approach that focuses on the quality of the human experience in concrete situations.
