Brock University and the University of Portsmouth recently announced the launch of an International Double Degree in Musical Theatre and Education. The degree pathway allows eligible Brock Dramatic Arts students and Portsmouth Musical Theatre students to attend the other institution for the third year of the program and ultimately earn a Bachelor of Arts from both institutions. “We are equipping the next generation of theatre educators and artists with a high level of practical theatre training as well as critical training in how to teach music and theatre; you need both to produce dynamic musicals in any creative setting,” explained Brock Department of Dramatic Arts Chair Jennifer Roberts-Smith.
