onSET
Each year the School of Theatre’s onSET (Sharing Experiences in Theatre) program embraces inclusive artists, scholars, poets, and professionals. SOT welcomes a distinguished group of teaching collaborators to enhance, inspire, and enlighten us. This display of professional mentorship is an important part of the academic and artistic mission of the School of Theatre.
These guests and visitors to BU will be in the classrooms in small intimate settings. They might be in larger public venues for panels and conversations, or in pop-up seminars. As professionals, they share their experience and wisdom bringing a rich dimension to the student’s education at BU that is an invaluable asset.
