The theatre program at WWU will train you in all aspects of theatre, focusing on performance, theatre technology and musical theatre. We also offer theatre
education to prepare future drama teachers. Even as a freshman you have opportunities for immediate mainstage experience because we show no
preferences in casting. You gain valuable experience in four mainstage productions, student laboratory productions and other performance/technical
opportunities. You will get to work with a variety of guest directors and designers. The theatre major balances a strong academic program with a cocurricular production season and an annual portfolio review. Minors available include theatre and music. "By majoring in theatre at William Woods, I have been able to gain immediate professional experience. The extraordinary faculty and staff give students a chance to develop new skills and talents while enhancing and polishing their strengths. The professionalism that is always encouraged has given me a great foundation and resume for my pursuits in theatre for the future."Meghan Parks, theatre major from Quincy, Ill.
