Musical theatre oppotunities at Baylor University Theatre include:
Our annual mainstage musical. This professional-grade production usually occurs in the fall and features some of the most jaw-dropping technical elements of the year, including stunning costumes and breathtaking scenery. Due to high demand for tickets from both Baylor students and the Waco community (not to mention proud parents!), we offer twice as many performances of the musical as any other show. Musicals from recent years include Gypsy, the university world premiere of The Drowsy Chaperone, Schoolhouse Rock Live!, Bye Bye Birdie, and one of the first university productions of Urinetown: The Musical. This year's musical is Thoroughly Modern Millie!
