This paper studies Dramaturgy and Semiotics and their understanding in pedagogy. To comprehend how signs create meaning in theatre, the need to teach it in a classroom setup is requisite for the students. Although actual performances cannot be conducted in a pedagogical environment, Drama in Education (DiE) and Theatre in Education (TiE) come into play for understanding the semiotics of Dramaturgy. Theatrical semiotics as exhibited through signs is necessary to understand the play, and Syntax, the understanding of the smallest unit in theatre is necessary to gain overall knowledge of the performance. The syntax of the theatre is not just the smallest unit of word but also scenes, gestures, sounds, etc, which is the identification of the smallest building block of theatrical meaning. Understanding semiotics and syntax helps to understand the Dramaturgy in a classroom setup.
