Mission of the Department of Theatre

In the best tradition of a land -grant University, our department complements Auburn University's emphasis on broad-based education with a rigorous program of practical training.  The department's program is exclusively undergraduate with immediate opportunities for hands-on experience in performance, stage management, design and technical production.  Auburn University Department of Theatre is a laboratory in which our undergraduates are allowed to experience multiple aspects of the collaborative process of production, to succeed or to fail artistically in an atmosphere that places a premium on process and practicality.
