#okstatetheatre

The Oklahoma State University Department of Theatre cultivates creators, artists, storytellers, and creative leaders to engage, inspire, and serve their communities through the transformative power of the theatrical arts. As part of a land-grant university, we believe the theatrical arts are both an art form and public resource that expands imagination, fosters dialogue, and connects people across experiences and perspectives.

Through innovative teaching, creative activity, research, and community engagement, we create transformative educational and artistic experiences that encourage discovery, collaboration, and leadership. Grounded in rigorous classroom study, collaborative training, and experiential learning, we prepare students to become innovative artists, ethical leaders, and engaged citizens who contribute to the cultural vitality of Oklahoma and beyond.

We envision a theatre program where creators become leaders, artists become innovators, and storytellers become catalysts for connection and change. Through artistic excellence, creative discovery, and meaningful community engagement, we empower students to shape the future of the performing arts while enriching the cultural, educational, and civic life of Oklahoma and beyond.
