Welcome to Jacksonville State University's Drama Department. The department is dedicated to providing students with a strong liberal arts background in addition to a strong overall theatre experience.  Students are giving the opportunity to write, direct, perform: design and build sets, props, and costumes; design and execute lighting and sound designs, and stage manage main stage and "Black Box" productions.

The department constantly strives to stay on the cutting edge of technology by attending national workshops on lighting, sound, stagecrafts, and safety, as well as upgrading technology, equipment, and practices.

Students are encouraged to attend regional and national theatre auditions such as Outdoor Drama and Southeastern Theatre Conference auditions yearly. Designers and Technicians are encouraged to participate in regional and national portfolio reviews.  Many students find summer work through these auditions and portfolio reviews.
