Who We Are

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC, THEATRE & DANCE.

These productions are directed by faculty and guest directors, and crewed by students. Additional faculty, guests, and BFA students complete the creative production teams. Design & Production and Bachelor of Theatre Arts majors work as stage managers, shop assistants, and technicians for each production; students may design costumes, sound, sets, or lighting for these productions. UProd manages all of the production shops and facilities including an electrics shop, two scene shops, two paint shops, a costume shop, and a prop shop managed by professional staff.
