This collection contains UWM Theatre Department records
consisting of alumni information, correspondence, performance planning, photographs, and
programs from decades of plays and musicals performed by theater companies within the School
of Fine Arts, including the Professional Theater Training Program and the University
Players. Correspondence is largely between the chairs of the departments and faculty members
regarding performance planning, budgeting, curriculum, and departmental activities. The
correspondence from various countries details information on the several international
programs the UWM theatre department participated in, including the International Theatre
Festival and the World Theatre Training Institute. Faculty meeting minutes document
curriculum changes, budgeting, and performance planning. Files include information on the
foundation of the Theater Company (a company within the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
and items regarding the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Also included are production files,
which contain performance budgets, set designs, programs, promotional materials, and
performance reviews, as well as photographs, negatives, and slides. Items predating 1964
(the year of the department's creation) are programs and photographs of performances by
players of University Theater, a drama club of UWM, and the Dramatic Club of the State
Normal School.
