Welcome!
Welcome to the Theatre Program Intranet...aka the Wiki! It contains useful information and resources from the Theatre Program. It also sets forth the academic, behavioral, and professional expectations the Program has of its students, both in and out of the classroom. This Intranet is meant to be referred to as often as is needed; as a student of Columbia University School of the Arts Theatre Program, you are expected to be knowledgeable of its contents. The content of the Wiki is subject to change and revision as necessary.
Documents and information will be updated often, especially during transitional periods (e.g., the beginning and end of semesters). If you have any difficulty finding what you need, feel free to reach out at [email protected].
