Each year, the UW–Madison Department of Theatre and Drama produces several exciting productions in impressive spaces including the 321-seat Ronald E. Mitchell Theatre and Gilbert V. Hemsley, Jr Theatre, a flexible black box space.
Due to COVID-19 guidelines, all in-person performances will be restricted to UW student audiences only; no other UW campus members or the general public can attend. Performances will be free of charge to those students. Seating capacity in the Mitchell Theatre will be limited to observe social distancing requirements. All performances will adhere to strict observance to safety guidelines set forth by the University.
