 Dance and Theater Arts (DATH) Building:

How large is the department?

The Department of Dance and Theatre resides within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and has a faculty of 15 with approximately 500 majors in dance and theatre combined.

What programs does Dance and Theatre @UNT offer?

The Department of Dance and Theatre provides a Minor in Dance and a BA degree in Theatre, both of which include options for teacher certification. Additionally, the Theatre program offers a technologies certificate. We present a full season of productions, typically featuring 6-10 shows choreographed and directed by guest artists, faculty, and students. The Department also hosts the First Stage Series, showcasing performances entirely directed, designed, and performed by current theatre students.

Why two buildings?

The Department of Dance and Theatre operates in two separate buildings on campus. The Dance program conducts its classes and rehearsals in the Dance and Theater Arts (DATH) Building, which uniquely features four large movement studios with spring and raised-floating wood floors.

The Theatre program activities primarily occur in the Radio, Television, Film, and Performing Arts (RTFP) Building, which was renovated in 2000. Dance and Theatre maintain the University Theatre (415-seat proscenium theatre) and the Studio Theatre (160-seat black box), and the technical facilities to support the annual season, including a well-equipped costume and scenic shop.

Where is the Costume Shop?

The Costume Shop can be found on the second floor of the RTFP building in room 255. You will find your fittings and our costume shop team ready to find the best costume for everyone!  

Do you offer Scholarships?

Yes, we offer a merit-based scholarship for current Dance and Theatre students. You can apply as early as your second semester at UNT!
