TLU PERFORMING ARTS

TLU SCHOOL OF MUSICTLU School of Music provides professional training

to those who wish to pursue careers in music and

music education. Students also have the opportunity

to enhance their college experience by studying

music either from the academic offerings or through

ensemble participation (band, choir, orchestra) while

pursuing a degree in another field. 

Students interested in music have several performance

opportunities, including participation in Choir Tour, PRISM Band

Concert, and Chamber Orchestra.

The School of Music strives to stimulate growth in the appreciation

of music among all members of the student body. It provides

and contributes musically to the total life of the campus. TLU is

TLU DRAMATIC MEDIATLU’s Department of Dramatic Media offers a unique

and dynamic program of instruction and production.

Intentionally developed as a hybrid of theatre, film,

and new media training, the program explores

storytelling by way of the stage or screen, through

the fusion and study of text, performance, design,

and technology.

Students interested in dramatic media have ample opportunities

to create their own work as well as perform or work within

faculty-organized productions. In addition to mounting full scale

mainstage productions, TheatreXpress performs as a student

ensemble and XpressFest showcases senior capstone projects.

With more and more industries and businesses looking to find

ways to engage and entertain customers and clients, a dramatic

media degree with practical applications for design, engagement,

communication, and technology is the first step towards a

profitable career in theatre, film, media, marketing,

event management, and design.
