Drama plays a vital roll in the life of Paine College, offering students an opportunity
to study and perform dramatic works rich in African-American history as well as
works representative of a general history of drama. Productions may entail the performance
of a simple monologue, two-person scene, Reader’s Theatre, one-act play, Improv,
video taped material, and/or a full-scale dramatic or musical production. Productions
are open to the Paine College family at large either by invitation of on an audition
basis. The Drama track is designed for students preparing for a career in drama
and for those preparing for a MFA graduate program in drama. The program serves
to augment and enhance the other mass communications programs.
Drama students will complete a Senior Project where the student will perform in
a main-stage production as actor, set designer, stage manager, sound designer, or
costume designer. Drama students will complete an internship where they will receive
field experience with a theater company. All drama students are required to participate
in Drama Department productions with duties as assigned by the department Coordinator.
