The innovative full-time faculty of nine theatre professionals, do what they teach. Working with a self-imposed cap of 50 exceptional students, our five-to-one student to teacher ratio allows us to offer an unmatched level of personalized training. Our alumni are performing consistently on Broadway, national tours and international productions, regional and stock theatres, and in the Film/TV industry, demonstrating that this is one of America's premiere programs.

Admission to the University of Oklahoma is required as well as a separate audition for admission into the Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre. We recruit incredibly talented theatre artists from high schools across the nation for each freshman class and our faculty pride themselves on discerning the potential for success in a variety of ways. We are committed to the core principles of inclusion, equity, and anti-racism and promote a culture of belonging by celebrating diversity in all its forms.
