Each academic year the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance – through the auspices of University Productions – presents nearly a dozen works featuring students from the Departments of Dance, Musical Theatre, Theatre & Drama, and Voice (University Opera Theatre). Ranging from full-scale staged productions to smaller studio shows, these performances perennially delight our audiences and provide invaluable experience for our student-artists.
