We're All About Community
The Mission of the Department of Theatre Arts is to nurture a close-knit community of intellectually-curious and artistically-daring theatre practitioners while preparing students for future success through liberal arts education and professional training.
Undergraduate students in the department of Theatre Arts are part of a close-knit community, deeply embedded in the rigorous artistic work of Baylor Theatre from the first day of classes until graduation. From the first week, students are assigned to technical production crews and begin preparing auditions for weekly workshop performances. New students are assigned to a Big, an experienced student who introduces them to the department and acts as a mentor.
