Welcome to our World!

On behalf of each member of the professional theater training company at the University of Wisconsin -Parkside it is my honor to welcome you to our electronic connection to the world!

We invite you to sit back, relax, and let your fingers do the walking as you explore our one-of-a-kind theatre program. Our program offers an incredible number of diverse and exciting academic and artistic theatre opportunities which may be of interest to you. Whether you're looking for live theatre productions to see, classes to take, or a theatre training program to call "home," we offer something for everyone!

Noteworthy news is the fact that we have recently been honored with the 2009 Regents Teaching Excellence Award. The award isn't just an honor for the Theatre Arts Department, it's indicative of a campus-wide academic commitment - a reminder that there is academic excellence at UW-Parkside. As this was the campus' first department to receive the Regents Teaching Excellence Award, we obviously feel that we have a very strong program here – one worthy of recognition.

Please consider checking us out in person by attending a live performance, scheduling a campus visit and tour, or simply letting us now that you'd like to connect with us face to face!

I'd be happy to serve as your initial "human link" to our theatre arts company. Simply give me a call at 262.595.2352 or e-mail me at yohnk@uwp.edu if you'd like to connect in person!

Best wishes,

Dr. Dean Yohnk

Department Chair and Artistic Director
