School of Theatre
The School of Theatre at Boston University offers a high-level of instruction in the theatre arts. The school offers the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and the Master of Fine Arts (MFA), as well as Artisan Certificates for technical theatre students. Students can major in acting, theatre arts, theatrical design and production, stage management, theatre education, and directing.
The school has strong relationships with other theatre organizations in the Boston area, most notably the Huntington Theatre Company, the professional company in residence. The Huntington's relationship with the university provides educational enhancement and craft development opportunities and makes internships available to the school's students.
The School's main operating facility is the Boston University Theatre, located across from Symphony Hall on Huntington Avenue (Avenue of the Arts) in Boston. Built in 1923, the facility houses both the 800+ seat mainstage theatre and the black-box theatre known as the Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley Studio 210. In addition, it is home to The Huntington Theatre offices, the University's Design and Production Center offices and classrooms, and scenery, costume and lighting shops shared by both organizations.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or theatre:
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
