Overview

Program Details

Our class sizes are small, the student-to-faculty ratio is low, and we offer realized scenic, lighting, costume, sound, prop, projection design opportunities in all of our theatres each year to undergraduate Production/Design students. Our students are exposed regionally and nationally by actively participating in KC/ACTF, SETC, USITT, and other major theatre conferences around the country.

Western Illinois University Theatre - Production and Design program hosts four or five summer stock/regional theatre companies each year for on campus auditions/interviews. The relationships you build at WIU will serve as the basis of your professional network for many years to come.
