For a student of theatre, New York City is the place to be!
Why Theatre Arts at Marymount Manhattan?
MMC is centrally located in Manhattan and offers classes that allow students to experience the richness of the city. We combine professional theatre education and training with the liberal arts, teaching our students how to create compelling, informed, imaginative, and innovative theatre. Our students are exposed to great theatre — on Broadway, Off-Broadway, along Theatre Row, and downtown in experimental theatres — and they take advantage of the best of New York City’s internship opportunities.
Pursue our B.F.A. in Acting, B.F.A. in Musical Theatre, B.F.A. in Theatre Design and Technology or our B.A. in Theatre Arts and choose among concentrations in Theatre Performance, Directing, Producing & Management, Theatre Studies, Writing for the Stage, and Theatre & New Media. We also offer Minors in, Arts Management, Drama Therapy, Arts for Communities, and Music.

“I moved to New York wanting to be an actor,” he says. “MMC helped me realize that there were other careers in the theater. If not for the flexibility of MMC’s liberal arts programs, I would not have been able to make the transition from in front of to behind the curtain so easily or fruitfully.”
