Theatre & Dance Season

Welcome to the 2008-2009 University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Theatre Season. As always it is our goal to choose plays that offer our theatre students, the university community and the Chippewa Valley a dynamic range of theatrical styles, periods and genres. The immediacy of theatre can engage an audience in a unique and powerful way while exposing us to the diversity and universality of the human condition. We hope this season will be challenging, enlightening and entertaining. Enjoy!
