The Theatre Studies Program

The English Department has been the home of the Theatre Studies Program for more than twenty-five years. Currently, there are two Theatre Studies courses, which are both cross-listed with English and open to all students. As well, students can complete a Minor in Theatre Studies. For more information about the Minor, please consult the UPEI Calendar.

In the past few years, Vagabond shows have included Heartbreak House, The Rez Sisters, The Outsider, and The Knight of the Burning Pestle.

UPEI Theatre Society
