PhD Theatre (Theatre and Performance of the Americas)

at Arizona State University

Are you interested in social justice through artistic and cultural expression? We welcome scholars, artists and activists interested in expanding boundaries and challenging traditional narratives. 

Doctoral students in theatre with a concentration in theatre and performance of the Americas examine the canon of theatre from diverse critical perspectives through coursework, seminars, research and study opportunities. They are encouraged to think beyond geographical and disciplinary borders, developing the skills required to challenge traditional narratives and expand the boundaries of theatre studies.
