Arabian NightsThe
Theatre on the campus of the University of Michigan has always been respected as a key to self-knowledge, self-empowerment, and self-expression. As our department has grown and changed, we can also be proud of our commitment to the study of global theatre; to teaching the ways in which we can talk with and affect one another concerning important issues of our day; and to equipping our students with the skills and tools needed to succeed, not only in theatre, but also in fields outside of that world. As an alumna of this department, it fills me with pride and joy to remember those who have graced our stages, created art in our shops and studios, and, most importantly, taught in our classrooms during these last 100 years. I hope I speak for all of us when I say that what we learned here has been the Michigan difference in our lives, our careers, our hopes and dreams. May that truly be said for all who follow us. Here’s to the next 100 years!
