Theatre

This meeting is designed to give you a clearer and detailed picture about the requirements for a Theater Major/Minor, about our Concentrations, our Overseas and Off-Campus programs, and about the specific scheduling of theatre courses for the next four years.

Warren Kluber BA ’12 arrived at Lewis & Clark unsure of what he wanted to study. An English degree, a passion for the power of theatre, and a summer research project studying oral traditions in West Africa clarified his path. Now a PhD candidate at Columbia University, he has published his scholarly insights in three leading academic journals. We caught up with Kluber to learn more.
