Philadephia: A Theatre City Unlike Any Other
The greater Philadelphia area is home to a bustling theatre scene that employs thousands of artists year-round. Villanova is just 12 miles west of the second-largest city on the East Coast. And getting there is remarkably easy -- hop on a train (we have three rail stops on campus) or use a ride- or car-sharing service (we've got quite a few options!).
Our Master's Program alumni are employed by nearly every major theatre company in the region, including the Walnut Street Theatre, Arden Theatre Company, People's Light, Delaware Theatre Company and The Wilma Theater.
Boasting a robust creative economy, the region features the work of hundreds of performing arts organizations and festivals throughout the year including the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and the internationally-renowned Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
