Marcia Legere Student Play Festival

This event, one for playwrights, directors, actors and spectators, celebrates student talent. Marcia Legere, once a UW-Madison student playwright and later a successful theater professional, submitted to and won the first Wisconsin Playwrights Contest that led to a performance at the Wisconsin Union Theater in 1945. Legere gave a second life to the Wisconsin Playwrights Contest more than 20 years ago with a generous contribution for this free festival of one-act plays at Wisconsin Union Theater.
