UFV Theatre is excited to offer students the opportunity to engage with these amazing, relevant works, and create an exciting performance!
We invite a wide-range of UFV students interested in creating and engaging in Climate Change Theatre to join us. You do not need to be a Theatre major or minor, or have any previous Theatre experience. For the cast, we are assembling an ensemble (a group of actors to work together), rather than auditioning for individual roles.
As with all mainstage productions, students taking part as cast or crew must register* for a course and will receive academic credit for their practicum work, through one of THEA290, THEA291, THEA295, THEA299, THEA399, or THEA499.
*Registration requires departmental permission.
