Academic studies and performance training
Our program combines the intensive professional training of an acting school with the academic preparation of an honours-level drama degree. No other drama and theatre program in Canada offers a comparable education.
Gain on-stage experience
Gain professional-calibre experience in studio classes at Sheridan, department productions and crew placements. In your graduating year, you’ll participate in two public productions, as well as industry events such as the Next Generation Showcase.
Succeed in the dramatic arts
You’ll attend both institutions simultaneously. At UTM, you’ll take drama courses covering the history, theory and literature of Western drama and film. Acting classes and theatre studies take place at Sheridan and feature small, intimate class sizes and personalized acting instruction, with emphasis on elements of acting, voice and text, on-camera techniques, stage combat and devised/solo projects.
This unique theatre program provides you with an exceptionally broad range of opportunities to develop and express your creativity — and a wide variety of drama and theatre career options to explore after graduation.
Additional program features
The workload is heavy, with many hours of rehearsal and theatre production added to classroom and personal study time. But you’ll enjoy the camaraderie and teamwork of theatre life, and you’ll graduate with a four-year honours degree (with specialist certification) from UTM and a two-year (equivalent) Sheridan diploma.
Your Theatre and Drama Studies degree will prepare you for a successful career in the dramatic arts.
Many of our students have gone on to prominent acting careers, including April Leung (Artistic Associate, Theatre Passe Muraille), Lindsey Wu (Stratford Festival 2022), John Walmsley (Stratford Festival 2022), Qasim Khan (Stratford Festival) and many more.
