Theatre: BFA Musical Theatre

Performance Opportunities

Performance opportunities are many during the regular production season, as the department is focused on undergraduate work and actors.  Many more opportunities open up for student actors in Musical Theatre workshop, during the annual one-act play festival, in senior projects, and in productions sponsored by our recognized student organization, the Associated Students for the Performing Arts (ASOPA).

UW student actors can become involved in the department's work on every level, from performing in shows to directing to working as part of a technical company, which provides fantastic hands-on training.

UW student Musical Theatre actors have gained both regional and national recognition in recent years.
