Invest in the Spotlight

The Western Michigan University Theatre Guild is a community support organization for WMU’s nationally recognized Department of Theatre. The Guild raises funds to provide scholarships and professional development opportunities for the students. Out of a current enrollment of 200 theatre students, over 25% of these young artists exhibit high financial need and need support to stay in college. We are asking for you helping hand in making dreams come true.

"As a Guild Scholar, I have been so lucky to be able to focus on my education and craft as an artist. Being able to have more time to study and be in rehearsals and not worry about being behind is a gift I’m so grateful to have."

Stage Management, Class of 2022

"The Theatre Guild scholarship has helped me focus on my school work and dedicate 100% of myself to stage managing shows. Scholarships I have received over the years have also allowed me to spend time mentoring and volunteering within the theatre department. With the help of the Theatre Guild I will be able to graduate this spring and continue my professional career in theatre and opera."
