Fine Art and Drama

Program Chair: Prof. Eric Domuret, domuree@stthom.edu

At UST, you’ll get a superb private university experience with access to outstanding professors who are highly accomplished teachers and artists. Our program features different theatre venues, affording diverse theatre experiences for both audiences and students. Our drama department is the home to Stoic Theatre, Houston's only professional and student collaborative theatre company.  Our productions draw large and supportive campus and community audiences, frequently showcasing sell-out performances.

Students who graduate are prepared for careers in theatre, film, design, directing, playwriting, stage management, teaching, voice over, or a wide variety of other professions.  Our students easily transition into the professional world and are represented by a number of different acting agencies across the country.

Our students present original works and capstone projects, as well as participating in local, graduate school, and national professional auditions such as Houston Alliance, URTA, and SETC.  UST Drama also participates in ACTF competitions.
