About the ensemble

How do the BurkTech Players bring people together?

The BurkTech Players is an inclusive ensemble that brings together artists from Texas Tech’s Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research and School of Theatre & Dance. Through the collaborative process of creating and performing theatre and dance, students learn from one another, build meaningful connections, and celebrate the unique perspectives each artist brings to the ensemble.

Led by graduate students from the School of Theatre & Dance alongside students from the Burkhart Center, the ensemble offers participants opportunities to develop their craft, culminating in a performance each semester. Past productions have included musicals, devised theatre, original plays, dance, and classical works.

The BurkTech Players provides a safe and supportive space where students can express themselves, collaborate creatively, and discover the power of performance to foster understanding and community.
