\"TheatreDancelogo\"<\/a>Each year as the winter semester draws to a close, the halls of UM-Flint get quiet. The majority of our students are off campus–some spending a summer at home, others are working, some are doing\u00a0internships or spending time abroad for study.<\/p>\n

The students and faculty of the Theatre and Dance Department are hard at work honing skills, gaining real-world experience, and letting their talents shine as they join companies and productions across the country. When they return in the fall, they will have a season’s worth of insight they can apply to their courses and 2015-2016 productions. Some of our alums are also active in the industry, putting their degrees and experiences to work in their professional lives.<\/p>\n
