  • Broaden your knowledge by having the unique opportunity to work as an actor, director, designer, and/or technician during your years of study.
  • Explore the connections TCU has with the professional theatre market in Fort Worth-Dallas by working as an intern, or by participating in joint productions between TCU and professional theatres like Casa Mañana, Circle Theatre, Jubilee Theatre, or Stage West.
