耶魯大學戲劇學院是耶魯大學專業的研究學院,提供劇場所有相關領域的課程訓練,包括:演出、設計(舞臺設計、服裝設計、燈光設計)、導演、戲劇作法、戲劇批評、劇本創作、舞臺管理、聽覺設計、技術設計與生產、劇場管理等。
The school traces its roots to the Yale Dramatic Association, the second-oldest college theatre association in the country, founded in 1900. The "Drama" produced the American premieres of Albert Camus's Caligula and Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, as well as original works by Cole Porter, Stephen Vincent Benet, and Thornton Wilder written when they were students. This lively dramatic tradition led to the funding, in 1924,by Yale benefactor Edward S. Harkness, to establish the Department of Drama in the School of Fine Arts, and for the construction of the University Theatre, designed by James Gamble Rogers. George Pierce Baker, a teacher of playwriting, was the first chairman of the department. The first Master of Fine Arts in drama was granted in 1931.In 1955, the department was organized as a separate professional school, the first such in the Ivy League.
