Your membership in the University Theatre Guild will enrich the educational experience of theatre students and help pave the way to success in their chosen field.

The University Theatre Guild is a group of theatre lovers from Kalamazoo to Colorado, and Portage to New York City, who value educational theatre and choose to nurture its growth at Western Michigan University through their contributions. Joining the University Theatre Guild is an excellent way to show your love for the theatre and invest in the education of talented young artists.

What does my University Theatre Guild membership support?

Your membership in the University Theatre Guild will support scholarships, mentorships and professional development opportunities for WMU theatre students. Membership also supports bringing to WMU world-class visiting artists from all facets of the theatre: acting; directing; stage combat; makeup and special effects; costume; lighting design; and theatre management. These artists direct, teach, design and perform with our students during their residencies, enhancing the rich experience offered at WMU.

What are the membership benefits?

You will receive members-only invitations to special theatre events: receptions, dinners, behind-the-scenes visits, opportunities to interact with theatre students, and conversations with directors, designers and actors. To express our appreciation for your generosity, Guild members will be listed in all season programs, unless a member wishes to remain anonymous.
