The Tarleton State University Theatre Program, Texan Theatre, provides students with a dynamic and engaging education in the art of theatre. Through hands-on experience in acting, directing, design, technical theatre, and playwriting, we prepare students for careers in the performing arts and beyond. Our program encourages creativity, collaboration, and artistic exploration while offering meaningful opportunities for students across the university to participate in live theatre productions. We strive to provide you with:
- Exposure to a wide variety of performance styles and historical periods.
- Opportunities to improve self-discipline in preparation for a dealine-driven, production-oriented career.
- A supportive environment in which you will be encouraged to try new things an learn form your failures.
