“I have met so many great people within the department, and I know that they are friends to last a lifetime. The professors here really know their craft, and they are willing to help students at the drop of a hat. I often think about what my life would be like if I hadn't chosen to go to UT to pursue a theatre career. I never would have had the opportunity to be involved in Fox Hunt, Cabaret, Miss Julie, Twelfth Night, or The Laramie Project. I am so grateful for this hidden gem of a department that has taught me to grow in so many ways, and offer opportunities for all of us.”

“Being a member of this program has taught me things that I never thought I would be able to learn. Especially with my body. I’ve learned that my body is an instrument within itself and I must take care of it. I was able to learn some philosophy parts of acting as well, involving the body.”

George Johnson, Theatre

"Being a student at UT is really great. You experience new things here everyday. You meet new and different people along the way as well. What I learned from being here so far is that you can't wait and procrastinate because that can hurt you, so manage your time wisely. Also don't sit around and stay inside all of the time because then you won't make any friends and then your college life will be wasted."

“UT has offered me friends I didn't know I would make through experiences I didn't know I would have. I've worked with students on personal projects countless times and seem to have made a new friend at every single one. As a student, it's your responsibility to go beyond the classroom and keep those experiences going, and the professors and completely supportive of that. They want you to succeed and continually reinvent who you are and how you think.  Everyone here, professors, staff, students, and community, are behind me as well as every other student whether they've met me or not. It's incredible, really.”
