University Theatre
University Theatre puts on several exciting productions per year. See what’s coming soon to our stages. As a theatre and drama student, you could have opportunities to work as an actor, designer, technician, and crew in these shows.
Courses for Non-Majors
You don’t have to major in theatre and drama to experience it. We offer many courses for international students and other majors who want to learn more about theatre or improve their communication skills, problem solving abilities, and visual acumen.
Exceptional Faculty and Research
At UW–Madison, you will work directly with nationally recognized faculty who have rich and diverse experience in theatre and research. You’ll learn from the best in everything including costuming, acting, directing, and lighting and sound design.
