| The UW-Eau Claire theatre program emphasizes a well-rounded curriculum offering students a strong academic background as well as practical hands-on experience. The curriculum focuses on the need for students to have a historical perspective and a contemporary understanding of all of the collaborative components of the art form and a working knowledge of how those components work together to reflect human values, experiences and accomplishments in order to challenge, entertain and enlighten audiences. |

Practical experience is supported by a dynamic faculty who work closely with students and are active in their fields. Internships through professional and community theatre organizations also are available. |
