In the UW-Whitewater Theatre and Dance program, everyone has a chance to learn everything from the front of the house to behind the scenes. We’re a highly hands-on, collaborative program offering an array of major, minor and degree options.
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.
We also offer about $40,000 of scholarships to Theatre majors and Dance minors each year.
Acceptance Rate:
While the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has a high overall acceptance rate of 94%, the Department of Theatre and Dance, which requires auditions for performance majors, has a more selective process, with a limited number of students admitted to the BFA programs.
Faculty Info:
Linda Allegretti, Marshall B Anderson, Eric J Appleton, Bruce Cohen, Ruth N Conrad-Proulx, Sara J. Griffin, Barbara L Grubel, Piper Morgan HAYES, Tracey E Lyons, Amy C Slater
