Hands-On Experience
There are ample opportunities for students to create their own work as well as perform or work within faculty-organized productions. Unlike most drama schools, TLU’s Dramatic Media program goes beyond acting and traditional theatre, while still holding in high esteem the technical skills necessary to produce a quality production.

In addition to mounting full scale mainstage productions, TheatreXpress performs as a student ensemble, XpressFest showcases senior capstone projects and students have the opportunity to participate in the growing theatre community in the greater San Antonio area. TLU often partners with theatres and nonprofits in the area to create collaborative dramatic media works.

Production Opportunities

Production within dramatic media features an innovative approach that helps students create, produce and deliver content that isn’t limited by traditional models of live stage performance.

Productions of established literature are complemented by world premieres of new work. Student-produced plays, independent films and emerging methods of storytelling are valued in the same manner as live, faculty-produced material. As a result, students of TLU dramatic media have extensive opportunities to receive hands-on experience in production, beginning in their first year.

TheatreXpress

TheatreXpress is a dynamic initiative of TLU Dramatic Media dedicated to the creation and production of dramatic media opportunities which highlight original material, multimedia, touring, and outreach. An official student organization, TheatreXpress fuses the classic model of the traveling troupe with modern technology, and brings the excitement of TLU Dramatic Media to audiences who request content.

TLU Dramatic Media Scholars and other students at TLU participate as the company ensemble for TheatreXpress. The programming of TheatreXpress complements the faculty-produced shows, and provides a constant flow of production opportunities for the ambitious and entrepreneurial theatre student. In other words, TLU Dramatic Media students never lack for gigs!
