Please help us celebrate 10 years!

An ensemble of artists from Texas Tech’s Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research and School of Theatre & Dance, The BurkTech Players provides a nurturing environment to encourage, extol, and extend collaboration through shared experiences of the performing arts with individuals on the autism spectrum.

Led by graduate students from the School of Theatre & Dance and students from the Burkhart Center, The BurkTech Players offers the ensemble an opportunity to practice their craft, culminating in a production at the end of each semester. Past productions include musicals, devised work, original plays, dance, and the classics. The BurkTech Players offers students a safe place to be themselves, to learn from each other, and to understand diverse perspectives.

Every piece was written by our neurodivergent company members! Enjoy a hilarious West Texas Western about a brave autistic rabbit who becomes sheriff and a beautiful origin story of a Prairie Princess whose autism is celebrated in her kingdom.

There’s a monodrama about the creation of The BurkTech Players, a spoken word piece that gives insight into the ups and downs of living with autism and finally an original song celebrating inclusion!

Please share this with your classes and anyone you talk to! Our actors have worked so hard sharing their amazing stories, and I would love a packed house both nights.

Thank you so much for your support!
