The Tennessee State University Theatre presents a varied repertoire of theatrical productions featuring TSU students in all aspects of the performance. These productions provide students with basic fundamental skill sets and experiences in acting and theatre production.

   The program, established in 1939 by theatre trailblazer Dr. Thomas Edward Poag, is housed at the Cox/Lewis Theater in the TSU Performing Arts Center. This 350-seat proscenium theatre is the forum for the presentation of a wide variety of theatrical and music performances by students, faculty, and professional guest artists.
