Established in 2010 E.C., the department offers comprehensive programs in acting, directing, playwriting, and technical production. Our curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with practical experience, preparing students for diverse careers in the performing arts industry. The department’s seasoned faculty guide aspiring actors, directors, playwrights, and technicians towards a future bright with possibilities in the performing arts sector. In addition to providing quality education, the department is a hub for innovative research and active community engagement, shaping graduates who are not only skilled professionals but also cultural ambassadors.

Therefore, the establishment of a Theatre Arts program is a strategic move to fill the educational void in the performing arts sector. By focusing on the development of skilled theatre professionals, the program is set to address the current shortage and meet the growing demand for qualified individuals in the theatre and film industries. The program’s curriculum, designed to align with international standards and the specific needs of the media industry, will empower students to excel in both local and global contexts. Furthermore, the initiative underscores the role of the arts in societal development, leveraging drama and media as catalysts for cultural enrichment and social progress.
