Who We Are
The University of South Florida School of Theatre & Dance facilitates the growth of creative and academic artists and scholars. Rigorous training in the studio and classroom, combined with frequent performance opportunities, gives students practical experience. Theatre students can pursue Bachelor of Arts degrees with concentrations in musical theatre, acting/directing, theatre design, and theatre arts. Dance students can earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance with a concentration in ballet or contemporary dance, or a Bachelor of Arts in Dance Studies. The school also offers minors and undergraduate certificate programs that are open to non-majors and non-degree-seeking students.
What We Do
The School of Theatre and Dance produces a season of high-quality plays, musicals, and dance concerts, fostering the voices of student artists in practicing their craft and in developing their individual and unique voices as artists. The fall fundraiser is when we ask our audiences, alumni, and friends and family to donate to help our students shine. We call this fundraiser "Thank you ten!" after the response performers give to a stage manager, warning them it's ten minutes to places. If everyone who came to one of our shows donated even $10 (a bargain for a ticket!) there's so much we could do for our students.
Your Impact
These funds will be used to support productions, to help students who need small grants to participate in theatre and dance activities (previously we have purchased dance shoes, helped students attend conferences, paid for materials needed for design projects) and to pay guest artists who come to work with students. We don't charge for tickets, so support is vital to help us help our students have the materials and support they need to master their crafts.
