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.
