142 Performance Opportunities Involvement in theatre productions is an important part of the Theatre program. The Weber State Theatre produces a full season of plays in the Monson, Allred, and Austad theatres of the newly remodeled Browning Center. Theatre facilities include a variety of proscenium and flexible staging situations. Students are given first priority in all department productions. The theatre season is offered by the Department of Performing Arts as part of the Performing Arts Series. Because the season is generously supported by the Associated Students of Weber State through student fees, students receive substantial discounts for performances. In addition to performance opportunities at Weber State, theatre majors are encouraged to seek summer employment in stock or repertory companies relating to their interests.
