Yale University has announced its commitment to the design and construction of a new Dramatic Arts Building which will be the new home of David Geffen School of Drama and Yale Repertory Theatre. A pivotal new gift, along with other essential gifts, enables this long-envisioned project to advance to these next stages.
Yale University has announced a gift of $150 million from the David Geffen Foundation in support of the School of Drama.
This extraordinary and unprecedented gift ensures that from this day forward, in perpetuity, full-time students in degree and certificate programs will receive 100% tuition remission, beginning with the 2021–22 academic year. These programs are now, and always will be, “tuition free.”
In celebration of this gift, the largest in the history of the American theater, Yale School of Drama is now the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University.
Our Mission
David Geffen School of Drama and Yale Repertory Theatre train and advance leaders in the practice of every theatrical discipline, making art to inspire joy, empathy, and understanding in the world.
‘Love I Awethu Further’ was submitted by Eugene O’Neill Theater Center and Yale Repertory Theatre.
