The National Theater Institute at the O’Neill in Waterford, CT provides a complement to a liberal arts education by exposing theater students to intensive, conservatory-based training and providing an introduction to the professional theater.
NTI offers a wide-ranging series of classes and workshops in acting, directing, playwriting, movement, voice, and costume and scene design, as well as an Advanced Directing Semester for more advanced undergraduate theater students. In addition to its domestic program, NTI offers a fall semester program at the Moscow Art Theatre School (see Study Abroad, above).
