How far would you go to get what you wish for and what might you lose along the way? These questions sit at the heart of Into the Woods, the latest large-scale musical theatre production presented by the School of Fine Art and Music (SOFAM) and the School of Theatre, English, and Creative Writing (SOTEC) in the College of Arts at the University of Guelph. The production invited audiences into a richly layered world where fairy tales collide, choices carry consequences and every path taken reshapes the story that follows.
With over 200 MFA alum it’s not possible to keep track of all of the achievements but here are just some of the happy happenings from 2025, and a few late 2024 mentions too. Click the links for titles and publication info.
The School of Theatre, English, and Creative Writing is pleased to present WROL (Without Rule of Law) by Michaela Jeffery. This production is the culminating work of our fourth-year Ensemble Project course, in which students form a theatre company and take on all of the major performing and production roles.
The production runs March 26-28 at 8pm.
Our own Dr. Alan McDougall has recently been a guest on two shows to speak about his new book, Dreams and Songs to Sing: A People's History of Liverpool F. C.
While in University and at any point in your life, networking is one of the most important skills you can develop. Networking can help you find jobs, volunteer opportunities and build connections. It is also an effective tool to help you make friends, increase knowledge, improve interpersonal skills and lead you to explore career paths you had never considered before. If you want to start networking and don’t know how, a terrific way to develop these skills is through taking Experiential Learning (EL) courses. At the University of Guelph, there are many opportunities to take EL courses.
