The theatre program at Midwestern State University is devoted entirely to undergraduate instruction. As a result, motivated, capable students find themselves quickly involved not only in the classroom but also in production work on stage and backstage. The program emphasizes the importance and interrelatedness of all aspects of theatre: performance, design, technical theatre, and scholarship. The theatre faculty members seek to cultivate an atmosphere of collaboration, ensemble, and mutual respect. While the program is broad enough to cover the essential areas of the discipline, it also allows for specialization. Theatre majors are required to complete a basic core of courses covering theatre history, dramatic analysis, acting, directing, design, and technical theatre. They then select an emphasis in performance or design/technology. Majors can also choose to complete their theatre degree with teacher certification. MSU is one of only three schools in Texas to offer a B.F.A. in Theatre with teacher certification. Also, MSU is the only college in Texas to be a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges.
