The Department of Theatre and Dance offers diverse classes for undergraduate students in performance, design, history, and literature. There are three to four mainstage theatrical productions in an academic year, with auditions and crew positions open to all. Our faculty work locally, nationally, and internationally, employing various methodologies and aesthetics.
Students also may submit applications to produce their own shows. Accepted works rehearse and present in the Lab Theatre, an experimental black box.
The Theatre and Dance Department offers the following undergraduate degrees:
A Bachelor of Art with concentrations in
- Acting/Directing
- Design/Tech
- Generalist
A Bachelor of Fine Art
- Design
Auditions are required for the BA in Acting/Directing. Please contact admissions for more information on auditioning as part of the application process, and students can also audition once they are enrolled at Tulane and are on campus.
Students interested in Design should submit a letter of application to the Head of the Design Program, requesting admission into the track. Design candidates may move from the BA to the BFA at the end of their sophomore year (with advisor approval).
The department also offers a 15-credit theatre minor.
