The Premiere Artists Series is offered in collaboration with Kean University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts and brings world-class theatre professionals to the Kean campus to engage students and the community in uniquely tailored master classes, lectures, residency programs and Q & A sessions. These events provide excellent networking opportunities for students and often lead to internships, assistantships, and employment in the field.
