Theatre Program 
Theatre has been called the most collaborative of all the arts. It is the emphasis on collaboration that makes the theatre major at UW-Superior unique. Our major prepares students to immediately enter the job market in a variety of careers within the performing arts. Careers are not limited to acting, but also include technical theatre, stage management, community outreach, marketing, public relations, fundraising, audience services, grant writing, and events coordinator/planner. We have an active and growing program emphasizing personal attention and active student participation.
