The Directing/Playwriting/Stage Management Focus offers students the opportunity to work collaboratively to create original theater.  Our Theater Program at MeAA is quite unique. To date, every play produced by the MeAA Student Theater has been student-written, student-directed, and student-designed! Skills learned in Directing, Playwriting, and Theater Leadership classes are immediately put to work!
