Overview

Whether your interest is directing, playwriting, acting, costuming – or maybe all of them – the Theatre Practices program at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee allows you the opportunity to explore the scope of theatre rather than focus on one targeted track. Create original works of theatre as a director, designer, actor or performer.

Become a teaching artist or use theatre as an activist. Start your own theatre company. Wherever you choose to go, we will teach you the skills you need to turn your passion into a profession through comprehensive training, hands-on experiences and industry connections. Plus, we’re here to support you along the way.
