Drama MFA Faculty"In addition to being master teachers, the majority of our faculty are working professionals. There is such a generosity of spirit from the faculty; they know the importance of what they are passing on to the next generation. And that adds to the quality of this environment in terms of preparing you for the industry." —Robert LuPone, Director
