What CUW students say about Theatre

Past performances

"Throughout the classes and performances I was involved in, my confidence and abilities continued to grow, and I find that I am still growing in many ways today because of it. [...] I have seen the program touch the lives and hearts of those that have gone through it, and it definitely shows with every performance that we put on." (Adam Czaplewski, CUW Theatre Alumnus)

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I have to be a Theatre Minor to participate?
    Students do not have to Minor in Theatre to participate, but taking classes and/or minoring in Theatre is highly encouraged, as it increases the value of the work in the productions. Nearly all participants are either Minors or take several Theatre classes.

  • Can I be involved in all aspects whether it be on stage or off?
    Yes! There are so many exciting parts of theatre that go beyond just acting. They range from set design to stage management. We strongly encourage everyone to try all aspects of theatre.
