University of Houston School of Theatre and Dance

The School of Theatre and Dance is a department within the Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts at the University of Houston.

The Houston Shakespeare Festival is a professional project of the school, which is produced each summer at Miller Outdoor Theatre.

Faculty includes producer Stuart Ostrow,[4] Broadway playwright Theresa Rebeck, and Tony Award nominated designer Kevin Rigdon.

It features a trapped floor, a counterweight fly system and ample wing space that joins a shop area large enough to accommodate several production sets.

The Alley was undergoing renovations to its facilities at that time, and the School of Theater opened its doors to the venerable company.

Since its inception in 1975, HSF has entertained nearly a half million theatergoers with free performances in Hermann Park's Miller Outdoor Theatre.

Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houston supports the creation and presentation of new works, sponsors visiting artist residencies, and offers courses, scholarships, lectures, and symposia, all in a creative alliance with the School of Art, Creative Writing Program, Moores School of Music, School of Theatre and Dance, and Blaffer Gallery, the Art Museum of the University of Houston.
