The Department of Theater is one of New York City's leading institutions in the training of actors, directors, set/costume/lighting designers, dramaturgs, performing arts managers, and theater technicians. The department offers a rich array of courses, workshops, and seminars that cover every conceivable aspect of these disciplines, so that students can pursue a career in their choice of one or more of them. Guest artists at special lectures, seminars and workshops have included Joel Grey, Betty Buckley, the team of John Kander and Fred Ebb, and other major theater personalities.

The Theater Department takes full advantage of the extraordinary theater resources of New York City. Students have opportunities for practicum/internship residencies at some of the city's most prestigious theater organizations: Manhattan Theater Club, Second Stage, Primary Stages, New York Shakespeare Festival, Playwrights Horizons, The Public Theater, Lincoln Center, the New York City Opera, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Carnegie Hall, Jujamcyn Theaters, Columbia Artists Theatricals, Roundabout Theater Company, Don Buchwald Talent Associates, the Drama League, and many others. In addition to all these offerings, the department puts on nine to ten productions yearly in theaters on campus.
