During four years as an undergraduate in the Theatre Division, students have the opportunity to reach their full potential as actors, directors, designers or playwrights and to go wherever their inspiration and abilities lead them. The study of theatre at SMU is intensive, and the emphasis on liberal arts within a theatre context is unique. The same is true for the graduate program in the Theatre Division, where students experience concentrated, in-depth study in their chosen field of acting, or design. That’s why students leave SMU with the skills and connections to enter the profession.

The Division of Theatre at the Meadows School is one of the most highly regarded programs in the United States. Here, exceptional faculty bridge academic and professional theatre. They’re committed not only to developing skills, but also to creating an atmosphere in which talented students feel stimulated and nurtured.
