UWM Theater Program Works With Veterans To Perform Shakespeare

Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and guests

With more veterans on our campus than any other university in our six state region, UW-Milwaukee has a long history of providing a strong support system for those women and men who have served our country and now are continuing their education.

But, still, some vets continue to deal with the emotional and psychological effects of being at war. To help them work through their issues, the UWM Theater department has embarked on a unique program of live performances the vets themselves star in. And Shakespeare is part of the equation.

Here to tell us about the project are Bill Watson and Jim Tasse.

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