Program Overview

The scenic design program at UT is a challenging, yet rewarding, program intended to prepare the successful candidate for a career in the professonal world of Theatrical Design. We strive to identify and nourish the individuality and talent of all our students, and we do not tolerate mediocrity. Here at UT, we believe that superlative design lies less with impressive visuals and more with interesting and unique interpretations of the playscript. Therefore, a large portion of the training is focused on dramaturgical research and conceptual investigation. The student must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the source material and all its implications before they are allowed to proceed three-dimensionally.A majority of the strengths in this program are centered in its connection to the professional world.
