The WIU Theater Department presents 6 shows annually, and it is always a good time! Growing up, my parents would bring me to shows, and as a student I made it to as many shows as possible. Even though I've graduated and been gone for a while, I continue to come back to go to the occasional performance. While not every show was perfect, overall the quality and entertainment has increased over the years. They take on difficult shows and do everything themselves, from the costumes to the set to the lights and acting. They get very creative with the special effects (a couple of my favorites being the fairy scene in "Midsummer Night's Dream" and the sinking scene in "Titanic"). The acting varies by semester, but there are a few "regulars" I always look forward to seeing. The fresh talent is always nice, too, and it always an enjoyable time!
