SMU Stageit
ABOUT US
Stageit is SMU’s premier theatre club, providing its students the platform to hone their craft and build a fun, loving and tight-knit community!
Established in 2002, students are given the opportunity to delve into the numerous aspects of theatre namely acting, script writing, directing, producing and the behind the scenes of what makes a drama a success.
In addition, our trainings and rehearsals can make you confident, sharpen your communication skills, stimulate your creativity, and connect you with fellow students!
If you’ve always wanted to be on Broadway, then joining Stageit is a no brainer!
While our productions and rehearsals are fun, they also have purpose. We aim to make meaningful theatre experiences, touching on subjects that deserve to be talked about. We believe everyone has a voice, and art is a way to amplify these voices!
