Kurt Weill called the American opera\u00a0Street Scene, which won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Score in 1947 and was inspired by Elmer Rice\u2019s play of the same name, his main musical dramatic work. The story brings the audience into the lives of the tenants of a shabby apartment building on a street in 1920s New York. Filled with hope, violence, love and disappointment, their stories unfold on the pavement in the evening and following morning of this hot day in June.<\/p>\n

You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring. Students who have additional questions about this scholarship should please contact Ralph Carhart at ralph.carhart@qc.cuny.edu<\/a> for more information.

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

Kurt Weill called the American opera\u00a0Street Scene, which won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Score in 1947 and was inspired by Elmer Rice\u2019s play of the same name, his main musical dramatic work. The story brings the audience into the lives of the tenants of a shabby apartment building on a street in 1920s New York.

Applications are now open for the Martin Nuruddin Scholarship<\/h3>\nThe Nuruddin Scholarship<\/strong> is named in honor of Queens College DTD alumnus Martin Nuruddin, who spent 44 years as a member of IATSE and was the Vice President of PRG Orlando, one of the largest theatrical lighting suppliers in the world. This $1,200<\/strong> award, sponsored by his family, is to be given annually to one DTD student who is pursuing a professional career in technical theatre. Students who are interested in this award must apply, as well as fulfill the prerequisite of having gotten a job working in a backstage or design capacity in a professional summer experience, including but not limited to\u2014summer stock, theatre\/dance camp, professional productions in Regional or off-Broadway settings, festivals, etc. It is intended for this scholarship to be a salary supplement, and make it possible for you, the students, to take an opportunity that might otherwise not be financially viable.<\/h4>\nThe application can be found here<\/a>. You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring. Students who have additional questions about this scholarship should please contact Ralph Carhart at ralph.carhart@qc.cuny.edu<\/a> for more information. The deadline for this application is March 15, 2026.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” custom_padding=”9px||8px|||” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

Our 2025\/26 Season<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
The Bakkhai<\/strong><\/h3>\nOriginally written by Euripides; A new version by Anne Carson<\/h5>\nDirected by NJ Agwuna<\/h5>\nOct. 30-Nov. 9, 2025<\/h5>\nGoldstein Theatre, Thurs-Sat at 7:00 & Sun at 3:00<\/h5>\nTix $15\/$10 (QCID and Seniors); $5 Friday! $5 for all tix on 10\/3<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
In the words of playwright Anne Carson, \u201cThe\u00a0Bakkhai\u00a0is Euripides most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.”<\/p>\n

The tale of one family\u2019s journey through humor and heartache, separation and self-discovery,\u00a0Marvin\u2019s Room\u00a0examines the ties that bind families together\u2026 whether they like it or not. Good-hearted Bessie has been taking care of her ailing father for twenty years, but now she\u2019s the one who\u2019s sick, and she must reconcile with her estranged sister, Lee. A remarkably humorous and tender play, this critically acclaimed family drama was dubbed by\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0as \u201cone of the funniest plays of the year, as well as one of the wisest and most moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In the words of playwright Anne Carson, \u201cThe\u00a0Bakkhai\u00a0is Euripides most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.”<\/p>\n

The tale of one family\u2019s journey through humor and heartache, separation and self-discovery,\u00a0Marvin\u2019s Room\u00a0examines the ties that bind families together\u2026 whether they like it or not. Good-hearted Bessie has been taking care of her ailing father for twenty years, but now she\u2019s the one who\u2019s sick, and she must reconcile with her estranged sister, Lee. A remarkably humorous and tender play, this critically acclaimed family drama was dubbed by\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0as \u201cone of the funniest plays of the year, as well as one of the wisest and most moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurt Weill called the American opera\u00a0Street Scene, which won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Score in 1947 and was inspired by Elmer Rice\u2019s play of the same name, his main musical dramatic work. The story brings the audience into the lives of the tenants of a shabby apartment building on a street in 1920s New York. Filled with hope, violence, love and disappointment, their stories unfold on the pavement in the evening and following morning of this hot day in June.<\/p>\n

The tale of one family\u2019s journey through humor and heartache, separation and self-discovery,\u00a0Marvin\u2019s Room\u00a0examines the ties that bind families together\u2026 whether they like it or not. Good-hearted Bessie has been taking care of her ailing father for twenty years, but now she\u2019s the one who\u2019s sick, and she must reconcile with her estranged sister, Lee. A remarkably humorous and tender play, this critically acclaimed family drama was dubbed by\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0as \u201cone of the funniest plays of the year, as well as one of the wisest and most moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurt Weill called the American opera\u00a0Street Scene, which won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Score in 1947 and was inspired by Elmer Rice\u2019s play of the same name, his main musical dramatic work. The story brings the audience into the lives of the tenants of a shabby apartment building on a street in 1920s New York. Filled with hope, violence, love and disappointment, their stories unfold on the pavement in the evening and following morning of this hot day in June.<\/p>\n

You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring. Students who have additional questions about this scholarship should please contact Ralph Carhart at ralph.carhart@qc.cuny.edu<\/a> for more information.

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

This $1,200<\/strong> award, sponsored by his family, is to be given annually to one DTD student who is pursuing a professional career in technical theatre. Students who are interested in this award must apply, as well as fulfill the prerequisite of having gotten a job working in a backstage or design capacity in a professional summer experience, including but not limited to\u2014summer stock, theatre\/dance camp, professional productions in Regional or off-Broadway settings, festivals, etc. It is intended for this scholarship to be a salary supplement, and make it possible for you, the students, to take an opportunity that might otherwise not be financially viable.<\/h4>\nThe application can be found here<\/a>. You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring.

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

The tale of one family\u2019s journey through humor and heartache, separation and self-discovery,\u00a0Marvin\u2019s Room\u00a0examines the ties that bind families together\u2026 whether they like it or not. Good-hearted Bessie has been taking care of her ailing father for twenty years, but now she\u2019s the one who\u2019s sick, and she must reconcile with her estranged sister, Lee. A remarkably humorous and tender play, this critically acclaimed family drama was dubbed by\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0as \u201cone of the funniest plays of the year, as well as one of the wisest and most moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\nMarvin\u2019s Room<\/strong><\/h3>\nWritten by Scott McPherson<\/h5>\nDirected by Claudia Feldstein<\/h5>\nMar. 5-Mar. 15, 2026<\/h5>\nThurs-Sat at 7:00, Sun at 3:00<\/h5>\nTix $20\/$15 (QCID and Seniors); $5 for all tix on 3\/6 and 3\/13<\/h5>\n
The tale of one family\u2019s journey through humor and heartache, separation and self-discovery,\u00a0Marvin\u2019s Room\u00a0examines the ties that bind families together\u2026 whether they like it or not. Good-hearted Bessie has been taking care of her ailing father for twenty years, but now she\u2019s the one who\u2019s sick, and she must reconcile with her estranged sister, Lee. A remarkably humorous and tender play, this critically acclaimed family drama was dubbed by\u00a0The New York Times\u00a0as \u201cone of the funniest plays of the year, as well as one of the wisest and most moving.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurt Weill called the American opera\u00a0Street Scene, which won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Score in 1947 and was inspired by Elmer Rice\u2019s play of the same name, his main musical dramatic work. The story brings the audience into the lives of the tenants of a shabby apartment building on a street in 1920s New York. Filled with hope, violence, love and disappointment, their stories unfold on the pavement in the evening and following morning of this hot day in June.<\/p>\n

Kurt Weill called the American opera\u00a0Street Scene, which won the inaugural Tony Award for Best Score in 1947 and was inspired by Elmer Rice\u2019s play of the same name, his main musical dramatic work. The story brings the audience into the lives of the tenants of a shabby apartment building on a street in 1920s New York. Filled with hope, violence, love and disappointment, their stories unfold on the pavement in the evening and following morning of this hot day in June.<\/p>\n

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

This $1,200<\/strong> award, sponsored by his family, is to be given annually to one DTD student who is pursuing a professional career in technical theatre. Students who are interested in this award must apply, as well as fulfill the prerequisite of having gotten a job working in a backstage or design capacity in a professional summer experience, including but not limited to\u2014summer stock, theatre\/dance camp, professional productions in Regional or off-Broadway settings, festivals, etc. It is intended for this scholarship to be a salary supplement, and make it possible for you, the students, to take an opportunity that might otherwise not be financially viable.<\/h4>\nThe application can be found here<\/a>. You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring. Students who have additional questions about this scholarship should please contact Ralph Carhart at ralph.carhart@qc.cuny.edu<\/a> for more information. The deadline for this application is March 15, 2026.<\/h4>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” custom_padding=”9px||8px|||” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

Applications are now open for the Martin Nuruddin Scholarship<\/h3>\nThe Nuruddin Scholarship<\/strong> is named in honor of Queens College DTD alumnus Martin Nuruddin, who spent 44 years as a member of IATSE and was the Vice President of PRG Orlando, one of the largest theatrical lighting suppliers in the world. This $1,200<\/strong> award, sponsored by his family, is to be given annually to one DTD student who is pursuing a professional career in technical theatre. Students who are interested in this award must apply, as well as fulfill the prerequisite of having gotten a job working in a backstage or design capacity in a professional summer experience, including but not limited to\u2014summer stock, theatre\/dance camp, professional productions in Regional or off-Broadway settings, festivals, etc. It is intended for this scholarship to be a salary supplement, and make it possible for you, the students, to take an opportunity that might otherwise not be financially viable.<\/h4>\nThe application can be found here<\/a>. You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring.

The Department of Drama, Theatre & Dance<\/strong> offers the study of the subjects appropriate for a liberal arts degree. A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\nThe department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n

A balanced combination of theory and practice aims at giving an understanding of the arts of drama, theatre and dance that can serve as a foundation for graduate study. Every effort is made to provide scope for the development of individual talent and skills as a preliminary step for those students who intend to pursue future conservatory training for a stage or dance career.<\/p>\n The department offers strong, diversified academic programs in theatre (covering history, literature, acting, directing, stage management, design, and technical theatre), and dance (modern, ballet, tap, Asian and African dance, choreography, and history). Each year, on our three stages, the department presents a wide range of five fully realized productions. These are dramas and comedies, classic and modern plays, new plays, musicals, operas, and dance concerts. Under the guidance of faculty and guest directors and designers, student actors and dancers perform for audiences drawn from all segments of the college community, as well as Queens neighborhoods.<\/p>\n There are also several opportunities annually for student actors and dancers to produce and direct work under faculty supervision. In addition to providing opportunities for students to major or minor in Drama, Theatre & Dance, the department devotes many of its offerings to courses that satisfy mandated general education requirements in the liberal arts. Moreover, non-majors participate regularly and extensively\u200b in all aspects of our production program as actors, dancers, technicians, and backstage crew members.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Office Information” use_icon=”on” admin_label=”Contact Info” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_font=”Open Sans|600|||on|||#e71939|” header_text_color=”#e71939″ body_font=”Open Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||8px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our office is generally open for in-person appointments Monday-Thursday 9:30-4:30 and remotely on Friday 9:00-4:30.

Applications are now open for the Martin Nuruddin Scholarship<\/h3>\n
The Nuruddin Scholarship<\/strong> is named in honor of Queens College DTD alumnus Martin Nuruddin, who spent 44 years as a member of IATSE and was the Vice President of PRG Orlando, one of the largest theatrical lighting suppliers in the world. This $1,200<\/strong> award, sponsored by his family, is to be given annually to one DTD student who is pursuing a professional career in technical theatre. Students who are interested in this award must apply, as well as fulfill the prerequisite of having gotten a job working in a backstage or design capacity in a professional summer experience, including but not limited to\u2014summer stock, theatre\/dance camp, professional productions in Regional or off-Broadway settings, festivals, etc. It is intended for this scholarship to be a salary supplement, and make it possible for you, the students, to take an opportunity that might otherwise not be financially viable.<\/h4>\n
The application can be found here<\/a>. You can also access a list of some of our faculty\u2019s favorite companies to work for here,<\/a> though the list is certainly not exhaustive. Students should also do their own research for opportunities to work backstage this summer. Many companies are already hiring. Students who have additional questions about this scholarship should please contact Ralph Carhart at ralph.carhart@qc.cuny.edu<\/a> for more information. The deadline for this application is March 15, 2026.<\/h4>\n
