Departmental Scholarships
There are talent- and mission-based scholarships available to students interested in majoring in the Theatre program. To be considered for a departmental scholarship, all students must be admitted to Southern Utah University and enroll as a full-time Theatre major while maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade point average. The department does not offer scholarships to students not majoring in Theatre. Students selected to receive scholarships will be notified by the end of April. All departmental scholarships must be renewed each year.

Student Organizations
Second Studio
Second Studio is the student production organization of the Department of Theatre, Dance, & Arts Administration. The goal of Second Studio is to provide students with the opportunity to explore their craft outside the confines of major department productions. Contact the Second Studio Student Board if you are interested in participating!
Second Studio also strives for successful fundraisers throughout the academic year. Some of the fundraising activities include SUU Live, High School Shakespeare Competition concessions, and dances. The money collected helps students attend conferences and provides opportunities for students to earn scholarships through performance, service, and activity within the department.
Second Studio is advised by Scott Knowles.

Thunder Theatre Educators provides a community for Theatre Arts Education majors. The club focuses on its four pillars: community, connection, professional development, and outreach. Club members meet weekly to connect, do homework, gain production experience, and explore teaching opportunities.

United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT), Student Chapter
