UCF PARTNERSHIP
Dear Friends,
At the University of Central Florida, we create big impact through partnership.
For the past 31 years, Orlando Shakes in partnership with UCF has opened up the arts
to Central Florida’s community and provided education and training for the next
generation of professional actors. Combining the power of artistic expression and
higher education, this unique partnership creates a local cultural cornerstone for the
arts.
This season, look for performance partnerships through UCF Celebrates the Arts
and opportunities for new play development through Orlando Shakes’ PlayFest and
Theatre UCF’s PlayLab. Immersive opportunities like these amplify the academic
experience and prepare our students for their future careers far better than classroom
instruction alone. We are proud of the role we play to help strengthen Orlando’s
vibrant arts community, but it would not be possible without you.
Thank you for your support of Orlando Shakes in partnership with UCF. We look
forward to another year of amazing performances with you!
Charge On!
Thad Seymour, Jr., Ph.D.
