Study
Our students - a tight-knit group of artists and scholars - have created a vibrant community in the heart of campus. We invite you to visit the Forty Acres and see if we are the right fit for you.
From the founding of the Department of Drama in 1938 to present, the Department of Theatre and Dance has been a hub of creativity and innovation on the 40 Acres.
I love how being a part of UT Theatre and Dance really feels like you are part of big family. The professors are amazing and know how to push you in a positive way to achieve your goals, while preparing you for a successful career in whatever your focus is in--whether that be acting, directing, playwriting, dancing, etc.
