Theatre Education

Over the next decade, U.S. jobs in theatre and dance are expected to increase across the board, including an 8% increase for theatre and dance professors, 8% for producers and directors, 6% for dancers and choreographers, and 5% for set designers. At UW-Whitewater’s Theatre and Dance program, we’re:

Large enough to offer a five-production season while being small enough to offer hands-on learning-by-doing experience.

Inclusive: Anyone can declare a major or minor in our programs, and anyone can audition for a show.

Active in the local community: for example, we offer matinee performances for area high school students and an annual Arts Immersion Day for area talented and gifted middle school students.

Experienced: Our faculty members come from near and far, and many are well-situated in our regional theatre community.
