Bobcat Bucket List #55: Watch a Musical or Opera
Housley Principled Leadership student Elisa Pedraza Sanchez stars in El Nogalar.
With 8-10 shows produced each season, the Texas State theater department always has something entertaining to watch. They have plays, musicals, dances, and operas all put on by current students.
The BFA program is highly competitive and ranked in the top 100 in the world. Since only the best get accepted, you can expect exceptional acting, dancing and singing. In addition to current students, the department has an array of guest choreographers, actors, and directors.
The theater itself was built in 1970 and is iconic for its red drum shape and surrounding water. It used to be home to a Fish Hatchery, which you can learn more about here.
