Take the stage. Tell the story. Own the moment.
Each semester, UL Lafayette Theatre students bring bold stories to life—on stage, behind the scenes, and everywhere in between. Our production calendar features a dynamic mix of classical and contemporary plays, student-led works, interdisciplinary collaborations, and opportunities to present at regional and national festivals.
The Stage is Yours
As a BFA Theatre student, performance and production work are built into your experience. You’ll audition, interview, or submit portfolios for mainstage roles and technical assignments every semester.
Opportunities include:
- Mainstage productions featuring classics and contemporary works
- Student-directed and original pieces presented through our Second Stage Series
- Collaborative projects with Dance, Opera, and ArTech Fusion
- Invited performances at conferences like SETC, KCACTF, USITT, and more
Whether you’re center stage, in the booth, or leading rehearsals, every production is a chance to sharpen your skills, work with faculty mentors, and make your mark on the program.
