A leader in creative expression. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Boston University’s costume design & production program encourages students to strengthen their artistic expression, communication, and production skills through hands-on, mentored experiences within a wide range of theatrical opportunities and classroom instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Taught by nationally-recognized professionals, our costume design & production program develops a complete theatre artist with a unique voice. Learn technical and conceptual sides of costume design and become an expert in taking a script and creating clothing that enhances the storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through creative collaborations with designers, actors, and directors, students apply both artistic and practical approaches to the creation of costumes in various genres. BU\u2019s costume design & production program offers one-on-one mentoring, and hands-on experience in specific areas of theatre practice using classroom knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve seen our graduates take their skills and become successful designers, drapers, tailors, first hands, stitchers, wardrobe supervisors, costume shop managers, and more. Where you may ask? Our graduates are working at New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, Huntington Theatre, American Repertory Theatre, Santa Fe Opera, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, and the list goes on. Did we mention our alums have even worked for Cirque du Soleil?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
