The Acting Program At...

The Louisiana Tech University School of the Performing Arts provides comprehensive training in the fields of music, theatre, dance, movement, playwriting, stage management and arts management which connects the broad spectrum of historical and contemporary issues related to art and craft; and in promoting the relationship between theory and practice, prepares professionals and teachers for leadership in national and international culture and art for the twenty first century.

The programs at Tech are based on a working knowledge of the art and craft of Theatre. We emphasize both classroom and practical production experiences. The teaching of Theatre is largely practical, with a strong commitment to the mentoring of students. At Tech, we strive to look at each student as an individual, considering your desires and goals within the framework of a solid professional education.

Each year the University Theatre produces a minimum of three to four main stage productions and regularly scheduled laboratory productions. Last year, six student-directed productions were mounted in addition to numerous performances for parties and club meetings, participation in the American College Theatre Festival activities, and special events like "The Tech Tonies," a gala awards event with entertainment. In addition, an opera workshop is presented on campus.
