Boston is just an hour away from campus.

Our students from the Boston-area find the college far enough away, but close enough to home to make a Red Sox or Bruins game. Here you will join an active community where faculty and students share enthusiasm for theatre both on stage and in the classroom.

You will find a supportive environment, yet you will also face challenges designed to develop your abilities and stretch your talents. Also, through the individualized master's degree program at the College, it is possible to do graduate work individually or in conjunction with the Trinity Rep Conservatory program. For those who possess special abilities, talent awards are available. The College also offers a generous program of need-based financial assistance.

In addition, employment opportunities are available at the College for work backstage, in the costume shop, or in the box office. If you seek the challenge and exhilaration of appearing on stage, then look into the performance or the musical theatre concentration. The performance concentration will give you practice in a great variety of acting styles, ranging from Greek tragedy and Restoration comedy to melodrama and psychological realism.

Should you prefer Stephen Sondheim and Cole Porter, you will be pleased to know that Rhode Island College offers the only program in musical theatre in Southeastern new England. The musical theatre concentration includes courses in music theory, singing, and dance, to provide training in all the skills needed for success in this ever-popular field.

One way to sharpen movement skills for acting is through the study of dance. Students in the performance areas should be aware that Rhode Island College offers a minor in dance and sponsors a highly respected dance company.

The technical staff for theatrical productions may not appear on stage, but their presence is certainly evident. Without their expertise in the areas of lighting, costume, makeup, and set design, the magic of theatre would disappear. The Rhode Island College Theatre stages four major productions annually, giving you an excellent chance to perform and to work in the technical areas.

For those who want more independent experience, there is The Growing Stage, a student-run theatre group. In addition, you will have special opportunities to participate in internship programs in professional theatres. Each year many students work alongside actors, directors, and managers of companies such as the Trinity Repertory Company and Looking Glass Theatre. At Rhode Island College you will study with a faculty whose strong dedication to teaching goes hand in hand with professional theatre activity.
