BA in Theatre in San Marcos United States | Texas State University

The Department of Theatre and Dance champions equity and inclusive representation that mirrors our diverse student body, fosters community connections, cultivates empathy, and rejects discrimination. We actively promote social justice by ensuring equal access for every student, free from prejudice based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, faith, socioeconomic background, or political views. As creative professionals and educators, we pursue meaningful artistic partnerships in our learning environments, rehearsal studios, and performance venues, with a steadfast commitment to fair representation and the celebration of historically marginalized voices and their artistic legacies.
Our curriculum trains future professionals across theatrical and cinematic disciplines - from acting and design to writing, filmmaking, editing, production, direction, technical arts, performance, and choreography, as well as educators for public schools. Students collaborate directly with accomplished artist-educators who have achieved national and global acclaim. Our distinguished faculty includes Broadway performers, television stars, professional dance company members, Tony Award-winning regional theater veterans, acclaimed filmmakers, musical choreographers, internationally exhibited designers, Cannes and SXSW festival participants, published authors, and playwrights with productions in New York and worldwide. While offering comprehensive resources through our extensive network of specialists, we maintain our focus on individualized student mentorship. This program delivers practical, professional experience in theater or film production and may be taken twice for credit.
