THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

DRAMA, COMEDY, MUSIC, DANCE. You’ll develop your craft starting in your first year through five main-stage productions, as well as dance concerts and studio productions. Performance opportunities range from the classics to experimental theatre, musicals and contemporary pieces. At least one play per season is centered on social justice.

MASTER THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF SCREEN AND STAGE. Choose from a wide selection of courses in acting and directing for stage and camera as well as theatre history, scenery, lighting, dance and costume design.

GET PERSONAL. Work on our main stage with professional actors, directors and designers. Acting and performance classes average 12 to 14 students; technical design and management classes average 10.

MINUTES FROM THE THEATRE DISTRICT. OK, so we’re not even close to Broadway, but Marquette’s location, mere blocks from Milwaukee’s theatre district, is the next best thing. You can collaborate or intern with professional companies such as the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Chamber Theatre, First Stage, Renaissance Theatreworks, Next Act and Boulevard Ensemble.

SETTING THE SCENE. 2004 Theatre Arts alumnus John Bobek has made appearances on shows such as How I Met Your Mother and The West Wing. Nick A'gosto has a recurring role on Heroes. In four years, who knows what type of scene you’ll set.
