Theatre Faculty & Staff

Our full-time faculty are experienced professionals with terminal degrees (MFA and Ph.D.) who remain active in their fields and professional organizations. At UM, though, teaching and mentoring students is our first priority. We also employ a full-time staff Accompanist/Music Director as well as part-time instructors each semester to expand the range of techniques and opportunities available for UM Theatre students.
