Theatre

"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players..."

If you see the world as the Bard did, then you've found the right place.

The W offers a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, with a concentration in Theatre Education and an MFA in Theatre Education.

On Stage Now

We are working to create a season in this time of great uncertainty and change.

We are still not sure what shape the Fall 2020 semester will take, but one thing is certain:

One way or another, there will be Theatre in the Fall!
