The Backdoor Playhouse

Over sixty years, thousands of actors and technicians have contributed to hundreds of productions from playwrights ranging from Sophocles and Shakespeare to Ensler and Kushner, and the Backdoor Playhouse is still considered by many to be the best kept secret on the Tennessee Tech campus. I guarantee that we are a secret worth discovering. As a community of faculty, staff, volunteers and students, we are committed to theater education that combines art and scholarship. We seek to foster creativity, critical thinking, excellence, and professionalism through the integration of courses, productions, workshops, and other activities. We seek to understand theatre not only as a means of artistic expression and a form of entertainment but as a window into history, a way to examine the question of what it means to be human, and a vehicle for social change. We invite you to join us in this mission. Mark Harry Creter, Artistic Director (1992-present)
