Given the lack of theater curriculum and extracurricular opportunities at the University of Washington Tacoma, STAG hopes to fill this void by providing acting, directing, and production opportunities for UWT students, staff, and faculty.
It shall be the purpose of the Student Theater Acting Guild (STAG) to host and produce theater performances and theater related educational activities that promote theater and the performing arts for the campus and greater-Tacoma communities. When recruiting members the club STAG will be open to all UW students, regardless of prior experience, who are interested acting, directing, stagecraft, tech design, script writing, and any area related to producing theatrical performances. In staging and hosting productions, STAG will be inclusive for the wider campus, with auditions open equally to any non-member as well as member.
By producing staged readings and limited-budget full stage productions, the organization hopes not only to provide educational opportunities for the actors and organizers, but also bring high quality original stage productions to the campus for low or no charge. We expect to work closely with the Tacoma community at large, and create a vibrant artistic outlet to the campus and the city.
STAG’s mission is to offer theatrical works and performing arts opportunities that better represent the diversity of students and our city. Our club and company aim to be inclusive in an educational setting by collaborating with UW Tacoma students, faculty, staff, Tacoma community members, and local theater professionals by committing to staging theater productions specifically created to reach broader audience interests.
