About Our Productions

About the TFTV Performance Season

The TFTV Performance Season serves as the public laboratory and showcase for the School’s professional training programs. The performers are students from the Bachelor of Fine Arts program in Acting and Musical Theatre, the Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies and Bachelor of Arts in our newest program, Live and Screened Performance. Students function as young professionals in a setting where the rules and discipline of the contemporary theatre are observed. The repertoire is selected from classical, contemporary and musical works, and is designed to serve as the integral extension of the student’s classroom study and studio training.

Our acting training emphasizes Stanislavski based process skills, period style and classical texts, voice and movement skills, stage combat, screen acting, and musical theatre. We are deeply proud of the long history of productions presented by talented students at the School of Theatre, Film & Television, and of the incredible careers of our graduates. We encourage audiences to be part of TFTV’s community and contribute to the development of our young artists by joining us at the Marroney and Tornabene Theatres and watching their work in action.

About TFTV Workshop Productions

TFTV Workshop Productions, mentored by our accomplished faculty, gives students the opportunity to write, dramaturg, devise, act and/or direct in diverse performance spaces. These ensemble-driven productions showcase the BA students as content creators, storytellers, and performance makers.

The annual New Directions Festival is currently at the forefront of TFTV Workshop Productions: an evening of new work created and performed entirely by students. We invite you to join us there, every Spring.
