Department of Speech Communication and Theatre
Communication, performance and design: taught, produced and performed at the Rose E. McCoy Auditorium.
From the Chair
Welcome to a department that will ask something of you.
We teach communication, performance and design, and we teach them by putting students in front of audiences who did not have to come.
You do not have to be a theatre major to belong here. Our stages have carried students from across this university, and six student organizations run out of this department, every one of them open to any Jackson State student.
What we ask in return is that you show up. Rehearsal, build calls, chapter meetings and juries are where the work actually happens. The applause is the smallest part of it.
Look around, then come find us. Call the department office and somebody there will point you to the right room.
