UNCSA
Performing Takes Center Stage
High School and Undergraduate Drama
Is the School of Drama right for you?
Work with faculty as colleagues to create meaningful, socially-relevant work in a safe and inclusive environment — leveraging the arts as a mechanism for social change.
You will perform constantly in both small workshops and major productions in a variety
of styles and
learn directly from outstanding
full-time faculty and acclaimed
guest artists.
Balancing health, time and artistic integrity is crucial here — the rigorous conservatory training grounded in classical values and offering technical
skills that shape today’s
in-demand actor.
Graduating undergraduate seniors present a showcase in Los Angeles and New York for industry professionals. Recent grads have signed with top agencies including UTA, Gersh, Innovative, Paradigm, Abrams, with some cast almost immediately in their first project.
