“
I can not stress enough how the Tepper Semester has helped me. It has prepared me in a way that is incredibly profound. It prepped me for life in this business while training in the profession. That is something that did not exist before.”
Program
Shows
An essential part of the Tepper Semester experience is seeing theater every week, up to 30 shows during each semester. Exposure to a spectrum of theater allows students to experience the widest range of performances, from Broadway, to Off-Broadway, including intimate and experimental original works.
