Service updates in response to COVID-19
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the Department of Theatre has shifted from in-person to remote support.
All support staff can be reached through their email and telephone.
We will continue to take advice and guidance from governments and health authorities concerning the health and safety of our community.
Innovative teaching
Theatre can make you think, make you feel, make you laugh and make you cry. But theatre can also change your mind, and the world.
UVic's Department of Theatre is one of the most comprehensive and immersive theatre programs in Canada. Here, you'll receive hands-on experience in all areas of theatre, taught by leading scholars and theatre professionals in one of the most innovative teaching facilities in North America.
At UVic, every student, in every theatre course, is engaged in performance and "on-their-feet" learning. As part of our curriculum, students are involved on stage and behind the scenes in our Phoenix Theatre’s mainstage season.
Diversity & Inclusion
Please read our statement on the importance of diversity and inclusion at the Department of Theatre.

We acknowledge with respect the Lekwungen peoples on whose traditional territory the University of Victoria stands, and the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. We are grateful to be on this land and are committed to UVic’s ongoing work of decolonizing and Indigenizing the campus community—both inside and outside the classroom. We invite you to read more about Indigeneity and Fine Arts.
