TUTS Texas All-State Musical is a special event which brings together like-minded, talented students from all over Texas to celebrate theatre in a fully produced stage musical produced by Theatre Under The Stars.  The Texas All-State Musical is a unique experience for students; it is not to replace what a student does at their home schools. It is an opportunity to create theatre at a statewide level with top musical theatre talent across the state.  It is sponsored, produced, and programmed by Theatre Under The Stars.
