Cameron University

The Department of Art, Music, and Theatre Arts actively seeks to make the University a driving force in the cultural life and economic development of our community by producing art exhibitions, concerts, recitals, and theatre productions, to enrich the intellectual and cultural lives of our constituents. The disciplines of Art, Music, and Theatre Arts energize the cultural life of the Cameron Campus and surrounding communities. We believe in the power of aesthetics and in the unique talents of each student. We strive to inspire and guide artists, educators, musicians, actors, designers, and scholars to achieve success as well as to become citizens of the world.

At Cameron University, Theatre Arts majors learn how to critically think, read, and write as well as learn a body of theatre knowledge from antiquity to the present day. We offer acting classes from the basics to period styles. In the technical emphasis we offer classes in costume, lighting, and scenic design. Theatre Arts Majors also have many opportunities to master important computer technologies in the course of their studies including state of the art lighting, sound, and costume construction systems. Beyond this, faculty members mentor students and encourage them to engage actively with peers, teachers and the community beyond Cameron. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to develop self-confidence by participating actively in the production program.
