    About the Department of Theatre and Music

    Formerly the separate departments of Music and Theatre, the new Department of Theatre and Music combines two strong performing programs into a single department. Offering BFA, BM, BA, and BS degrees, the department serves both majors and non-major alike, encouraging participation in productions and ensembles from across campus. Primarily housed in two buildings on campus, the Department of Performing Arts produces over 100 events each year, including several mainstage theatre productions in the recently opened Alan and Lindsey Song Center for the Arts. The performing facilities include the 240-seat LeBaron Recital Hall, the 1200-seat Palmer Auditorium, the 300-seat DiscoverShelby Theatre, and the 100-seat Michael and Sue Meadows Black Box Theatre.
