    Towson University: College of Fine Arts and Communication M.F.A. in Theatre Arts History of Towson University’s M.F.A. in Theatre Arts Program The MFA Program in Theatre Arts at Towson University started in 1994 under the leadership of Juanita Rockwell. In its 20‐year history, the program has engaged in a number of ambitious projects (originated by both students and faculty), presented over 60 theatre projects and performance pieces and received a number of outside accolades for these endeavors. Students and alumni have worked with a variety of professional artists and have also gone on to create theatre companies of their own. They have also taught at a number of colleges and universities, and have embarked on successful professional careers at institutions around the country. Tours MFA productions have toured to international festivals in Bulgaria, Slovakia, Egypt, Poland and Hungary. National tours of shows have included trips to Boston, New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, and Austin, Texas. In the summer of 2009, a group of MFA students did a Study Abroad Program to Wroclaw, Poland. There they attended the Grotowski Institute’s festival, “The World as a Place of Truth,” a celebration of the life and work of the famous Polish theatre director Jerzy Grotowski. The students also participated in a five‐day, six‐hours‐a‐day workshop with Teatr ZAR, the in‐house theatre company at the Grotowski Institute. In the summer of 2011, the program presented a showcase at the ToRoNaDa Space in New York City.
