UWM's 'Theater Wizard' On Using Sound and Technology to Tell Stories

Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and Christopher Guse

What makes a great theatrical performance? Outstanding actors? A wonderful script? Yes, and yes. But what we see on stage - the sets, the technical production the special effects all can be the difference between a good play and a great one.

On this edition of UWM Today, meet a man who has become a master of using sound and technology to help tell stories in plays and musical productions. Nicknamed the “Theater Wizard," meet Christopher Guse, associate professor of theater in the Peck School of the Arts.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
