Welcome to the University of Florida School of Theatre and Dance where diversity, discovery and risk form the foundation for one of the most exciting theatre and dance programs in the United States. The Nadine McGuire Theatre and Dance Pavilion, a state-of-the-art 46,000 square feet of performance, teaching, design, production, and office space opened in the fall of 2004 and provides for our student actors, dancers and designers some of the finest theatre and dance facilities available anywhere.
The theatre and dance programs at the University of Florida are fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Theatre and the National Association of Schools of Dance, respectively. Our faculty are internationally recognized for their outstanding teaching, creativity, scholarship, and professional experience that enrich their students’ work daily in the classroom. We are grateful to educate our students in the City of Gainesville, a community that values arts and culture. These values are especially personified in our department by the Friends of Theatre and Dance, a community, parent, and alumni organization which supports our students and the mission of our School.
Our students' achievements are remarkable. Each year many of our students receive national and international awards and scholarships for their artistry and academic success. UF theatre and dance students also have special opportunities each year for performance and study experiences throughout the world. Recently UF students traveled to Russia, Greece, Rwanda, Germany, England and Brazil for performance, production, and educational opportunities. Our alumni work around the globe in the best theatres, studios, dance companies, organizations and entertainment venues in the industry.
I hope you enjoy our website and I also invite you to visit our beautiful campus and theatre and dance facilities. Schedule a tour, observe a class, or attend a performance. I welcome your interest in the UF School of Theatre and Dance and hope to see you soon in our theatres and wonderful studios.
Sincerely,
Kevin Marshall
