UCI
is devoted to the development of working professional actors:
actors who can make for themselves a successful professional
life in an extraordinarily competitive field and who possess
the skills, insight, intelligence, creativity, and vision
to create the theatre of the future. UCI has proven itself
notably successful in training working professionals: virtually
all of our MFA graduates in the past fifteen years now perform
on stages around the country, on and off Broadway, in regional
theatres, or in feature films and television series. Many
hold faculty positions in university theatre departments
(please see our Alumni
Newsletter for all details). Such a degree of success
cannot be achieved by actors who possess mere professional
competence. UCI actors are successfully working in the acting
profession because their talent - and their training - has
made them exceptional.
