The study and the creation of Theatre constitutes a way of thinking about the world, a way of connecting with the past so as to illuminate the present, a way of exploring and understanding both the larger society and our innermost lives. No less
than philosophy and science, Theatre is a form of cognition, and every production is simultaneously an act of research and an act of communication, a way of encountering, examining, and sharing with others the most confounding experiences we can know. As one critic has said, "Art is the most complex form of thinking about life that has ever been invented." The faculty at Middlebury College invites students to study dramatic literature, theatrical history, playwriting, performance, and design as a way of exploring and understanding the complex form of thinking known as the Theatre.
