Overview

The program aims to prepare its graduates for careers in both professional and educational theatre. The department also recognizes that theatre is no insular art but involves, reflects, and participates in the wider cultural thought and practices of our time.

The program thus encourages a global view of performance; training in production skills should foster an awareness of the intellectual and political life of the contemporary world. We hold that our endeavor in theatre – both in performance and in scholarship – can assume an active role in the cultural dialogue, offering not simply entertainment, but insight and commentary regarding how we determine and pursue our social values and visions.

The School of Theatre has a unique and significant place within Louisiana State University and contributes in a visible way to the quality of life in both the state and the region.
