Cornish Programs
Theater
The creative opportunities open to theater graduates are greater today than at any time in history. Stage, film, and television are joined by web-based, immersive, and site-specific performance. You can reinvent the classics, tap dance in a musical, and take your solo show to Australia or China. Find these opportunities as a Cornish Theater student.
