Yale SOM's small class size and the small building significantly enhance the interaction between faculty members and students.

Third-year drama student Anna Jones said she wanted to present something new and fresh as the summation of the studies she has done at the Yale School of Drama over the past three years.
Unlike most traditional dramas that can easily be reduced to a synopsis, or contained within a brief theatergoer's description, "Attempts on Her Life" is as much an experience as it is a drama.
The production is meant to be the culmination of Jones' work at the Drama School and a collaboration with the actors and designers she has studied and worked with since 2003.

 YAM March 2002 - New Dean of Drama School
The School is at a crucial point in its 76-year history, and American theater itself is facing unprecedented challenges -- from shrinking box office receipts to a blizzard of new entertainment sources brought on by changing technology, from video to the Internet.

As if rebuilding attendance, buffing the School's reputation, increasing community involvement, filling out the faculty, and raising scholarship coffers aren't challenge enough, one of Bundy's most important charges will be making theater education relevant to a generation of students raised in a jump-cut, multimedia-driven MTV world.
