BWW Student Center's School in the Spotlight: Lamar University

The Student Center also offers a show calendar of college and high-school productions where schools can upload photos, videos, cast lists, articles and other media content for each of their shows. BWW will be combing through all content regularly and will launch weekly feature stories highlighting productions locally and nationally that have provided us with this extra content.

The Department of Theatre & Dance at Lamar University is a cohesive and dynamic program in which the faculty and staff provide personalized instruction and mentorship for student growth.

We develop imaginative, well-rounded students with critical thinking skills, creativity, and a passion for life-long learning. With diverse, process-oriented opportunities, including practical experience, students develop competitive and marketable skills in theatre and dance performance, production, and pedagogy. We encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, foster professionalism and artistic integrity, and embrace and cultivate diversity, while serving as a cultural resource for the University, the community, the state, and beyond.

The Theatre Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Theatre and in Theatre Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Theatre Education. Dance majors can pursue Bachelor of Arts in Dance, a Bachelor of Science in Dance or a Bachelor of Science in Dance Education. Also availalbe is a Dance minor.
