One of our very own THEATRE alumni 🎭

"Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin.'"

Texas Tech theater alumnus Hudson Hickman was challenged by faculty, staff and his peers to better his craft during his time in Lubbock.

The result was an extraordinary career that included serving as a producer on 12 Dolly Parton films, with four earning Emmy nominations, including one winning the award for Outstanding Television Movie in 2021: “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square.”
