Why It's Wild

The Wirtz Center produces, manages, and programs the performing arts productions of the School of Communication. Each year, as many as forty productions are mounted in its four different performance venues on campus. They also screen performances of theatre productions from other venues and host other special events. Northwestern faculty and students usually receive discounts to attend performances. Many theatre and performing arts courses are taught in the Wirtz Center as well.
