Cast your support for tomorrow’s stars

The murmuring audience. Musical instruments being tuned. The dimming of the lights. The rush of excitement as the lights go up, the show begins and you are taken away into a new world!

This transformative experience for audience members is the result of hundreds of hours of work by dozens of UW-Whitewater Theatre and Dance students.

The UW-Whitewater Theatre and Dance Department’s 5-production season offers hands-on learning-by-doing experiences for our students. When putting on a production they learn:

On the stage

• Contemporary and classic acting styles
• Choreography for musical theatre
• Contemporary, tap and jazz dance techniques

Behind the scenes

• Carpentry and project management
• Sewing and costume construction
• Critical thinking in research and script analysis
• Scenic, lighting, sound and costume design
• Science and math skills in all design and build projects

Our students use these skills to launch exciting careers in theatre, film and television, as well as stage and project management, game design, teaching and much more!

As our students prepare to bring back live performances this fall, we ask you to consider making a gift to support the UW-Whitewater Theatre and Dance Department. Your gifts will support the outstanding educational experience our students have come to expect.

Your gifts make a real impact:

• $50 = Scenic paint supplies
• $100 = Sewing supplies
• $250 = Lighting supplies
• $500 = Props for musical
• $1,000 = Costumes for one show
