On the eve of our 85^th season, the LSU School of Theatre continues to achieve national and international prominence in professional training, scholarship, and production. With Swine Palace, the department has distinguished itself as one of the few programs in the country that supports a full-time, year-round Equity company. While pursuing their degrees, students have the opportunity to work alongside world-class artists in every facet of production. In addition to working with Swine Place, our students support Louisiana’s burgeoning film industry. Many students are Actors’ Equity Association (AEA) eligible by the time they graduate. Our NAST-accredited BA degree programs (concentrations in arts administration, design-technology, film/tv, performance, physical theatre, and theatre studies) provide rigorous comprehensive training within the framework of a liberal arts education. The School of Theatre is a member of the University Resident Theatre Association, the nation’s oldest and largest consortium of professional, graduate (MFA) theatre training programs and partnered professional theatre companies.
