Overview

About the Program

The Theatre - Scenic, Costume, or Lighting Design program of the University of Houston provides ample opportunity to put dreams and theory into practice. Students should expect to design between six and eight fully supported productions in a variety of at least three venues over the course of their studies. The faculty and staff mentor all projects and provide guidance and feedback throughout the design and production process. In addition to faculty directors, UH brings in guest directors, professionals from across the country to participate in the program. Design and Technology students are regularly exposed to the artists of the local Houston arts institutions – the Alley Theatre, Houston Ballet, Houston Grand Opera, Theatre Under the Stars, Stages Repertory, Main Street Theatre to name a few.

The Design and Technology Program typically accepts six to eight designers per class and four costume technicians. All students receive tuition fellowships (through the Graduation Tuition Fellowship), and are employed .50 FTE as teaching assistants for three years of study. Assistants typically provide leadership in the shop/production area related to their area of study and teach undergraduate technology courses after the completion of their first year.
