Friends of TheatreUNI

Your support makes a difference

Friends of TheatreUNI is a non-profit organization of volunteers, faculty, and alumni who raise funds for the University of Northern Iowa Department of Theatre and its students. Friends support the university's theatre productions through scholarships, departmental purchases, and meals. In fact, 90% of all Friends donations go directly to the students.

If you have any questions about supporting the work you see on stage, contact Katrina Sandvik, Friends of TheatreUNI President at katrina.sandvik@uni.edu 

We'll see you at the show!
