Southern Methodist University: Meadows School of the Arts - Division of Theatre

The Division of Theatre at SMU's Meadows School of the Arts is one of the most highly regarded programs in the United States. 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. The Division of Theatre presents a season of fully-produced plays annually, which serves as an important part of the students' training program. Actors, directors, designers and playwrights are given the opportunity to take what they have learned in classrooms and studios and present it to a community audience. These critically-acclaimed productions are an important part of the cultural life of SMU and the larger community.
