Program Overview: Training & Research
New York City, with its professional theatre specialists,
institutions, and productions, its library and museum
facilities, its archives and private collections, is an
unusually rich resource. Students have easy access to such
special research facilities as the theatre, film, music, and
dance collections of Lincoln Center, to the facilities of the
Players' Club, the International Theatre Institute Archives, the
numerous art galleries and museums, to the central research
facilities of The New York Public Library, and to the many other
cultural activities that New York City has to offer.
In addition to these general resources, The Martin E. Segal
Theatre Center (formerly the Center for Advanced Study in
Theatre Arts), maintains a close association with the Theatre
Program, sponsoring symposia and conferences and publishing
three journals: Slavic and East European Performance, Western
European Stages, and the Journal of American Drama and Theatre.
Faculty members serve as editors for these journals and students
in the Ph.D. Program work as managing editors and editorial
assistants, gaining important experience and connections in
theatre studies publications. Located at The Graduate Center,
The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center embraces disciplinary and
interdisciplinary projects in theatre, dance, and film and
serves as the research and communications center of the Ph.D
Program in Theatre.
Externships for credit with professional theatre institutions
are encouraged, and students desiring such advanced training
have been placed under appropriate direction to function as
literary advisers or dramaturgs, administrators, archivists,
curators, and to study and explore various other production
procedures.
