Theatre Program
Our mission is to educate and prepare students for successful and meaningful careers in theatre, dance and related professions.
We have the largest theatre department in the city of Houston, with 250 full-time graduates and undergraduates. It is a high-energy program with dedicated and hard-working students. We strive to instill the skills and work ethic necessary to compete and succeed in the performing arts.
Our program emphasizes:
- Study - To understand the foundations of theatre practice, theory and technique. Classroom work provides students with a context to dicuss theatre and improve in their chosen specialization.
- Application - To make theatre that builds upon classroom work. Our numerous production opportunities challenge students and serve as a laboratory environment for exploration, problem solving, and creative expression.
- Mentorship - To connect students with working professionals and build a network. Faculty and staff in our School get to know each student and provide guidance to prepare them for the job market.
