The Snowy Range Summer Theatre season runs at the University of Wyoming each June and July and generally features three productions, and sometimes one touring production.
We’re proud of the long history and success of Snowy Range Summer Theatre, which at 68 years old is the second oldest program west of the Mississippi! The summer company each year is comprised of current students and alumni working in the field, as well as outside professionals.
The summer season is typically staged within a six to eight-week session and offers
student performers and technicians valuable practical theatre experience and a stipend.
Summer company members also have the option to earn up to 2 hours of academic credit
if they wish.
Outstanding junior and/or senior theatre majors at UW (particularly those students
seeking a professional degree) are strongly encouraged to audition for the acting
company or apply for the technical company. An effort is made to select qualified
students from UW to participate in the company along with students who are recruited
from throughout the nation.
Auditions and technician interviews for the Summer Theatre Company are held early each spring.
