Drama Club
Through the exclusive use of its members and partners, Drama Club promotes the importance of Theatre Arts within our surrounding communities, and within the community as a whole. We are constantly looking for members that share our passion for theatre as an exquisite art form. Please stop by the Theatre Arts Department “Lobby” (directly outside of the Black Box Theatre) every Wednesday at noon to inquire about our organization.
Mentor Program
The primary goal of the peer mentor program is to partner successful returning theatre company members with new theatre majors, both traditional first-year and transfer students, in order to help them have a smoother, more positive, productive transition into UW-Parkside, the Theatre Arts Department, and the many academic, artistic, and company expectations of the university and the professional theatre training company.
