The University of Washington School Of Drama is a degree-granting institution founded in 1940 as a division of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington located in Seattle, Washington, USA.
It offers a Bachelor's degree and MFA degrees in directing, design, and acting. A Ph.D. in history theory and criticism is also offered. The MFA programs have outstanding reputations as top programs in the country. Each year, the MFA programs admit 8 actors, up to 6 design students, (2 each for costume, scenic design, and lighting), 3 for the Ph.D. program and every other year, 2 students are chosen in directing. The School of Drama presents a full subscription season of seven to nine productions every academic year, which primarily feature MFA students from all disciplines, and also includes undergraduates. The Undergraduate Theater Society (UTS) founded by alumni James Newman in 1992, self-produces a season of its own. Every year, the School presents members of its graduating MFA acting students in professional showcases in Seattle, New York and Los Angeles.

Famous quotes containing the words university, washington, school and/or drama:
“To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.”
—William Booth (1829–1912)
“For the people in government, rather than the people who pester it, Washington is an early-rising, hard-working city. It is a popular delusion that the government wastes vast amounts of money through inefficiency and sloth. Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
