Cape Breton University
The Bachelor of Arts and Community Studies in Applied Theatre at Cape Breton University (CBU) equips students with practical theatre skills tailored for non-traditional performance contexts. Students engage in acting, directing, and stage management, while also exploring applied theatre techniques like improvisation and devising. The program emphasizes community engagement, preparing graduates to work as animators at living history sites, use theatre to address social issues, create community-building experiences, engage youth in educational settings, and assist at-risk populations in developing skills and support networks. Unique to CBU, this program incorporates work placements as a core component, offering hands-on experience with local partners such as Parks Canada and the Highland Arts Theatre.
