The Shape of Training: Undergraduate Programs (Northeast Edition)

Recorded on November 9, 2020

Since the 1950s, educators have played a critical role in guiding the artform and establishing its core principles, but now with the industry’s landscape evolving as artists and patrons continue to challenge antiquated systems, how are the institutions responsible for training young artists adapting, and what role will they play in our ever-changing future?

Join The Drama League’s Associate Artistic Director Nilan in conversation with theater educators from around the country in this podcast mini-series covering the ins and outs of undergraduate theater programs. In this week’s episode, we explore institutions in the Northeast United States with Marcus Giamatti (Temple University), Adrienne Kapstein (Pace University), Elizabeth Margid (Fordham University), Dr. Beth Schachter (Muhlenberg College), and Jill Stevenson (Marymount Manhattan College).
