UTPA - University Theatre Productions Announces New Season!
UTPA – Season subscription sales are now in full swing for our upcoming 2011-2012 season.
University Theatre Productions at The University of Texas Pan American gives Valley audiences
a wide variety of quality live-theatre presentations.
The theatre presents two sets of offerings during the regular academic year: Mainstage and Children’s Theatre.
Mainstage plays are designed to appeal to the general public. Usually, they are well-known plays that every serious
theatre lover should familiarize or re-familiarize themselves with.
The UTPA Children’s Theatre program showcases two productions per year that normally feature a mix of adult and
child performers, plus the P.A.C.T. (Pan American Creative Theatre) summer drama camp for young people during
three weeks every summer.
