Theatre Program at UL Lafayette

Where stories come alive—and so do you.

When the curtain rises, it's more than a performance—it's a chance to connect, to provoke, and to transform. Through theatre, you give voice to ideas, explore the human experience, and create shared moments that leave a lasting impact.

From text to movement, every choice becomes part of the story you help bring to life.

More Than a Degree

Our Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performing Arts Theatre concentrations are more than degrees—they are launchpads for emerging actors, directors, designers, and storytellers.

At UL Lafayette, you’ll join a dynamic program that fuses rigorous training with real-world experience. You’ll perform in full-scale productions, learn directly from working theatre professionals, and shape your creative path through one of three concentrations: Acting, Directing, or Design/Technology.

From day one, you’ll be immersed in the craft—honing your technique, building your voice, and learning to collaborate across disciplines.

Here, theatre is a place for discovery, bold expression, and creative leadership. Whether you dream of center stage, calling the shots behind the scenes, or building the world the audience steps into, we’ll help you grow into the artist and the professional you’re meant to become.
