In Backstage Business, students will have the unique opportunity to go backstage at Pablo Center and see how theatre magic happens. From designing scenery to building and painting flats to learning to hang and focus a light to managing the rehearsal room, theatre designers and technicians have a specialized skill set that we want to share with YOU! This class will feature guest instructors from the UWEC Music & Theatre Arts department who are experts in their fields - you won't want to miss this opportunity!

Students in our Intro to Shakespeare classes will dive into the Bard's world, exploring his characters and themes through theatre games, improvisation, and other activities. In these immersive courses, students will get on their feet and act out some of the most classic and dramatic scenes that Shakespeare was famous for, culminating in a performance for friends and family at the end of the session.

If writing is more your style, our Playwriting and Wordplay classes are for you! Taught by an experienced local playwright, students will work with writing prompts and work to develop their own scripts and creative writing pieces. The goal is for students to come away from the class with a solid work-in-progress that they can continue to workshop into the future!
