The performing arts require the collaborative efforts of many talented individuals. Every dramatic, musical, or dance performance by an artist on stage or screen requires years of training and practice. Just as important to each performance are the individuals who work behind the scenes to make it happen. The playwrights, choreographers, stage make-up artists, costume designers, sound technicians, scene and lighting designers, stage managers, and directors all play vital roles in any theatrical effort. The Department of Theatre and Dance gives opportunities for all individuals who are interested in the performing arts to develop their talents and discover new skills.
Mission
The Department of Theatre and Dance at SHSU is committed to providing high quality performance, choreographic design, and technical curricula of artistic and scholarly pursuits. Individual programs are sufficiently balanced and integrated to allow students to choose from a wide variety of theatre and dance related careers and prepare them to compete successfully in the chosen area of artistic, commercial, or educational specialization.

‘The Dance is the mother of the arts.’ -Curt Sachs
Dance is the most ephemeral and immediate of the arts. It exists in the moment of its performance and is then gone. To be successful, a dancer must learn to be totally focused in the moment of the dance. This requires extraordinary awareness, sensitivity, imagination, and discipline. A dancer must approach both his/herself and his/her field with curiosity, diligence, excitement, and honesty. In the process, the dancer finds a vibrant, energizing life of experiences, while developing skills, interests, and personal qualities that can lead to a variety of satisfying careers.
The Dance Program provides a supportive environment and a performance-oriented curriculum of sufficient scope and depth to allow graduates to discover this life. Through the exploration of movement as an expressive language, and the training of the body as the instrument of that language, the dance curriculum balances rational and intuitive qualities in the developing dance professional.
Academic Programs
- BA in Dance
- BFA in Dance
Admission to both the BA and the BFA is by audition only. One audition is held each semester. Teaching certification is available with either the BA or BFA in Dance through the College of Education.

Theatre reflects the human condition in the study of a wide range of behavior, relationships, periods of history, social configurations, and aesthetic styles. Involvement in this collaborative art form finds students growing in theatre skills and techniques, better understanding themselves, solving problems, working within a group and meeting production deadlines.
A theatre major first studies each area of the theatre to gain substantial knowledge of acting, technical theatre, costuming, lighting and scenic design, stage makeup, history, criticism, and directing. From that background, a person can specialize in one of these areas with additional coursework in theatre, and in such fields as music, dance, art, radio and television, or teacher education. Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs are available in musical theatre, acting and directing, design and technical theatre, and secondary education.
Students have the opportunity to act in shows every semester. As they develop expertise in areas of their primary interests, advanced students are chosen to stage manage, to design lights, sets, costumes, sound, makeup, and to direct major productions. Productions are staged in either the large, 396-seat proscenium theatre or the 90-seat thrust theatre. The theatres themselves, as well as the scene and costume shops are equipped with excellent technical equipment. Guest directors and professional workshops provide students additional contacts with other people in professional theatre. The proximity to Houston also allows students exposure to many venues of professional theatre, opera, dance, film and other forms of entertainment.
