Grads!
Do you have an idea for a staged reading, solo show or new play workshop? Apply for an Open Stages slot through TDGSO. Open Stages is a period on the UW Theatre production calendar reserved for student-produced shows. The chosen production will have access to rehearsal spaces in Vilas Hall.
The Theatre and Drama Graduate Student Association shares the Open Stages slots with the Undergraduate Theatre Association. The director of the selected Open Stage production is expected to communicate with UGA and their Open Stages director.
