Through association with The Clarence Brown Theatre, the facilities for actor and designer training at the University of Tennessee are among the finest in the nation. In addition to classrooms, shops, labs, and workspaces of the highest calibre, the Department of Theatre has three performance spaces: The Clarence Brown Theatre, The Ula Love Doughty Carousel Theatre, and the Lab Theatre.
Our season offers a varied repertoire of plays and musicals featuring nationally renowned guest artists. This enables actors in training to acquire experience under the guidance of a faculty of professional artists as well as academic scholars, within a community that includes actors, directors, designers, dramaturgs and technical artists.
