The Theatre for Youth Program is a comprehensive program for graduate students who are interested in interdisciplinary studies in theatre and drama with, by, and for children and youth. TFY students train in the artistic and educational aspects of theatre and drama, theoretical and practical, formal and informal, production and process oriented, with and for youth. A strong emphasis is placed on community outreach and involvement. The Theatre for Youth Program at UW-Madison stresses the potential and value of theatre and drama both as an art form and as a teaching method. Courses offered incorporate theory, history, methodology, and practice. In addition to TFY in the United States, the program maintains a strong international focus through course content, methods, and productions.
