Yale School of Drama is a professional school of Yale University providing training in all facets of the theatre including acting, design, directing, dramaturgy, playwriting, production and management.

The school traces its roots to the Yale Dramatic Association, the second oldest college theatre association in the country, founded in 1900. The "Dramat" produced the American premieres of Albert Camus's Caligula and Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, as well as original works by Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Vincent Benet, and Thornton Wilder written when they were students. This lively dramatic tradition led to the funding, in 1924, by Yale benefactor Edward S. Harkness, to establish the Department of Drama in the School of Fine Arts, and for the construction of a theatre, designed by James Gamble Rogers. George Pierce Baker, a teacher of playwriting, was the first chairman of the department. The first Master of Fine Arts in Drama was granted in 1931. In 1955, the department was organized as a separate professional school, the first such in the Ivy League.

In 1966, the Yale Repertory Theatre was formed to establish further ties between the professional and academic communities. Today, Yale Drama students perform at both the Yale Rep and the Yale Cabaret, which mounts fully-student productions.
