Musical Theater Musical theater is one of the most exciting and demanding professions in the performing
arts. As a musical theater performer, you must possess strong technical skills in acting,
voice, music, and dance, and the ability to integrate these skills with ease, expressiveness, and versatility.
The B.F.A. program focuses on the development of your individual talents and
abilities, with the aim of helping you to discover your uniqueness as a musical theater artist. This rigorous program requires coursework in three areas of performance— singing, dancing, and acting—as well as foundations in liberal arts and theater history.
Musical theater students learn singing techniques to support all styles of theater
music from operetta to rock, with foundational coursework in music theory, sight singing, and piano. The dance studio offers four levels of ballet and jazz, plus additional
studies in tap, modern, and theater dance styles. The acting training incorporates scenes study, dramatic theory, text analysis, speech, movement, and on-camera skills. All three
areas are interwoven in musical theater performance classes, audition technique, cabaret, and participation in the many production opportunities available each semester.

technical aspects of theater, you can explore scene construction or painting, lighting, properties, costumes, or sound design. You may also observe or act as an assistant to
guest designers for Syracuse Stage. And as a senior, you may be eligible for an internship
in the Syracuse Stage technical production shops. Opportunities to deepen your training and professional preparation can be found in other cities—including our newly established exchange with Rose Bruford College (bruford.ac.uk) in London—and our Tepper Semester in New York City.

The new theater management track is the only one of our B.S. tracks to which
you can apply as a new student. It will prepare you for a variety of careers, including
producing, marketing and public relations, casting, development, and general
management. Working with professionals at Syracuse Stage, you will gain firsthand
knowledge of a professional theater company’s operations.

I came to Syracuse Stage and to the Syracuse University Department of Drama because I believe that the theater is so much more than mere entertainment. At its best, it is a force for social change, intellectual enrichment, and personal transformation. My faith in the theater was forged over the course of a 30-year career as a director and artistic director at such companies as the Seattle Group Theatre, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, The Guthrie, and the Actors Theatre of Louisville, and it was further strengthened by bringing to life the work of playwrights like August Wilson, Jose Rivera, Lynn Nottage, Ping Chong, Arthur Miller, and Lorraine Hansberry. Syracuse University’s mission of Scholarship in Action speaks deeply to my personal vision of a theater that actively engages the community it serves. In every aspect of its work—from main stage programming to educational and outreach efforts—Syracuse Stage provides opportunities for SU drama students to interact both with professional theater artists and with members of the Syracuse community. In so doing, it challenges and deepens the training you’ll receive in your classes and prepares you for a rewarding and engaged artistic life. — Timothy J. Bond
The statements you will read elsewhere in this guide from our students and alumni attest to SU Drama’s longstanding tradition of excellence in teaching. It is this tradition—combined with the department’s commitment to experiential learning in a professional environment—that drew me to SU. Having spent nearly 30 years working as a professional voice, text, and dialect coach and nearly 20 years teaching at the Juilliard School Drama Division, I was excited by the prospect of partnering with Producing Artistic Director Tim Bond to develop an even broader array of learning opportunities for drama students. In the coming years, I hope to expand the department’s range of undergraduate programs. The faculty and I will ensure that we are building upon SU Drama’s rich heritage by training a generation of artists who are ready and able to respond to a rapidly evolving culture. With its abundant intellectual and cultural resources, vibrant student body, experienced faculty, and our commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, Syracuse University has reinvigorated my work as a teacher and a theater artist. I encourage you to consider the ways in which the University and SU Drama can help prepare you for a life in the arts, no matter what medium you choose to work in. — Ralph Zito

Alumni Profiles Taye Diggs ’93 “Having graduated from SU Drama, I feel safe saying that I was sufficiently prepared for my future in the performing arts. Outside of theater technique, I also came away with a solid sense of responsibility, ambition, and drive, which continues to assist me throughout various endeavors today.”
Frank Langella ’59 “There is no question in my mind that had I not studied with Sawyer Falk at Syracuse University, I would have been grossly unprepared for what lay ahead of me. His respect for the craft of acting, his integrity and his love for the theater gave me the foundation every young man needs when venturing forth into unknown territory. My days at SU remain among the most rewarding of my life and Professor Falk’s teachings have sustained me throughout my career—good times and bad. I am forever grateful.”
Aaron Sorkin ’83 “There’s a direct line from every play, movie, or episode of television that I’ve written to the training and education I got at the Syracuse University Drama Department. When writing isn’t going well—when I’m stuck or a script isn’t working—I can go right back to lessons I learned from Geri Clark or Victor Lazarow or any one of my instructors to help me get back on track. I also learned about professionalism, teamwork, and dedication. I earn a living doing exactly what I love doing and that never would have happened without SU Drama.”
Vanessa Williams ’86 “My musical theater experience at Syracuse University established working friendships and techniques that I will forever call upon. Freeing my natural voice, sense memory, scene study, piano, and music theory helped prepare me for a livelihood in show business. The student productions and Equity opportunities are the best memories of all. And it’s all available with the right audition. Good luck and let your light shine.”

Campus Life At Syracuse University, situated high on a hill overlooking the City of Syracuse, you’ll enjoy the best of two worlds. SU is large enough to offer a wide array of academic programs, student organizations and performing arts groups, and a Division I athletics program. The University is also small enough to ensure that you’ll easily feel at home within the intimate community of your home college. SU students come from all 50 states and more than 130 countries, and they choose from among more than 200 majors and 100 minors offered in SU’s undergraduate schools and colleges. Regardless of your major or your home college, you’ll build lasting relationships with like-minded peers and mentoring faculty members.
22
87603_Syracuse.indd 22
On Main Campus, you’ll find a mix of classic and contemporary academic buildings and a sweeping Quad where you can enjoy lunch, toss a Frisbee, or just stretch out on the grass for a little idle skygazing. Residential housing is provided either on Main Campus or on South Campus, the latter of which is located about a mile away and served by a free shuttle. Living and learning communities are also offered to promote connections with your classmates around common interests. Most of SU’s 21 residence halls are equipped with lounge space, laundry rooms, and recreation space. Many also have a computer lab, café, or exercise area. Wireless capabilities are available in most locations across campus. At mealtime, you can choose from five residential dining centers,
two student centers with dining services, numerous cafés, and two campus groceries. Outside of class, you can choose from more than 300 student organizations, including performing arts groups; sports teams; and student-run print, radio, and broadcast media, to name a few. Work out, swim, or join a pickup basketball game at one of our recreation facilities; take in a concert or lecture at Hendricks Chapel; or get involved in any number of service opportunities through the Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service. Opportunities for involvement extend into the community as well, with the Universitycity Connective Corridor initiative linking the campus with downtown galleries, museums, theaters, music venues, and cultural festivals.

The City The mini-metropolis of Syracuse, New York, fuses distinctive neighborhoods, yearround festivals, parks, professional sports, destination shopping, and a thriving art, music, and social scene. View American impressionism at the Everson Museum of Art. Hike the trails at Green Lakes State Park. Browse the shops in historic Armory Square. You’ll soon find that the University campus and city community are deeply intertwined. You can take classes downtown at SU’s modern Warehouse building, which houses community art spaces and a creative problem-solving lab. You may also want
to join faculty, staff, and other students as they work with the city on planning the Connective Corridor, a three-mile urban design project that links the University with the city’s cultural attractions. Beyond the community, you may be tempted to take a road trip. Just down the road are the Finger Lakes. Venture north to ski, hike, or gaze at the Adirondack Mountains. Explore the area’s landscape, and you’ll soon discover the city and region’s distinctive character and robust spirit. Join other Central New Yorkers in capturing the energy of each of the four seasons: brilliant
color displays in fall, snowy ski trails in winter, flower-filled parks in spring, and balmy beaches in summer. Come see for yourself. We invite you and your family to visit Syracuse University to experience the campus and community, and meet with our faculty, staff, and students. The Office of Admissions is open Monday through Friday and selected Saturdays in the fall and spring. Call 315-443-3611 in advance to schedule a visit.
