About Us
Founded in 1982, Theatre Western has long been a space where students gather to ask questions, take creative risks, and tell stories that matter. Each year, we produce a diverse season of theatrical work, ranging from large scale musicals and plays to original student written productions and performance festivals that celebrate experimentation and emerging voices.
At our core, Theatre Western is guided by the belief that theatre is not merely entertainment, but a practice of listening, empathy, and collective imagination. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and artist centered environment where diverse identities, disciplines, and perspectives are welcomed both onstage and behind the scenes. Through collaboration, mentorship, and meaningful storytelling, we aim to make theatre accessible while empowering students to grow as artists, leaders, and thinkers.
