The study of Theatre, Drama and Performance examines the relationship between the artists who create written texts intended for production, the artists who turn scripts into performances, and the audiences who experience the resulting theatrical event. It is the study of the event itself and the acts of creation involved in producing that event. Theatre, Drama and Performance involves the study of plays, actors, directors, theatres, designers, and audiences from the classical stage to contemporary plays and performances from around the world.

The focus of Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies at U of T Mississauga, both curricular and extra-curricular, is the Erindale Studio Theatre and the Multi-Media Studio Theatre in the CCT Building (or MiST). The Erindale Studio Theatre is used for performances of Theatre Erindale, the production company of the Specialist Program, and for performances of the English and Drama Student Society (EDSS). MiST is used for teaching and co-curricular and extra-curricular performances by all programs. We also have several rehearsal halls in Deerfield Hall that are used for classes, performances, and other program activities.

Courses in related topics are given in many disciplines. A list of these courses is given in the general notes for All Programs below and students interested in the field are advised to consider taking some of them.

The Specialist in Theatre and Drama Studies (TDS) provides students with conservatory-level professional acting training and extensive performance experience behind the scenes and on stage, preparing them for a career in the performing arts. At the same time, the program also gives students a uniquely thorough grounding in theatre history, performance theory, dramaturgical practice, and dramatic literature. The program is intended for students who wish to pursue acting, or theatre-making more broadly, at a professional level, while also receiving a university education and earning academic qualifications that allow them to move on to graduate programs (from MAs and PhDs to law school, MBA or MPA programs, or medical degrees) and/or careers including teaching at the high school or university level.
