The backbone of the program is the symbiotic relationship of the Business School coursework, the Theatre Arts coursework, and the professional practicum. These three elements not only provide unique preparation to enter the field but allow the students to learn, refine, and apply their skills in three different environments.
- They combine for-profit skills of an MBA with the specific challenges of running a non-profit theater and the broader aspirational context of an MFA.
- Prepares students to bridge the gap between a for-profit world and a non-profit mission.
- Buttressing seminar-based learning with a rigorous practicum endows students with the roles, responsibilities, and context of running a fully functional theater company, California Repertory Company (Cal Rep).
- The MBA program challenges students to apply classroom learning directly to the work of creating an audience, funding an institution, managing staff and budgets, providing educational context and opportunity, while ensuring that the vision of an organization reaches and serves its community.
