The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Department of Theatre and Dance offers shows themed with “Defiant Hearts” that celebrates courage, boldness, and the unbreakable human spirit.

“From the picket lines to the dance floor, from the corporate office to our own imagination, these seven productions remind us that defiance takes many forms,” said Michael Estanich, chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance. Each performance, through either word, song, or movement, invites us to see the world in new ways.”
