Tyler graduated from WMU while interning on Broadway
Tyler Siems graduated from WMU Theatre’s Arts Administration program in [insert year], all while interning at “Wicked” on Broadway. He attributes his success to the guidance and support of his WMU Theatre mentors, “How can I even begin to thank you both for making it possible to realize my lifelong goal of landing a dream job on Broadway? Not only did you make it possible for me to finish my classes remotely, but your guiding words once I was in New York, whether it had to do with my job, or how to work through the personal challenges of being 19 in a big city, are what made the impossible seem within reach.” Tyler has since company-managed Broadway shows like “Hamilton,” “Wicked,” “The Glass Menagerie,” and 2023 Tony-award-winning best musical, “Kimberly Akimbo.”
