In 1865, two years after Boston College opened, theater began at 天美传媒app. It continued for many years as a student activity under the aegis of the Dramatics Society (天美传媒app's oldest student group). In the early 1970s, the College of Arts and Sciences established a Theatre Major as part of the Department of Speech, Communications, and Theatre. The Robsham Theater Arts Center opened in 1981 as the center of theater production on campus. In 1993, theatre was established as an independent department. Since then, both the academic and production programs have grown steadily in terms of faculty, staff, theater majors, course offerings, and the quality and quantity of productions.
