"Senior Scene" columnist Ruth Cain writes about WSU's performing arts program, noting that widely known actors and actresses such as Ernie Hudson and S. Epatha Merkerson are graduates of the program. "Did you know that the Hilberry Theatre is the only graduate school repertory theatre in the country?" she asks readers. She mentions the WSU backgrounds of several other performers and concludes her column with " Wayne State University 's Fine Arts school can truly be called a Detroit cultural treasure." Cain mentioned that she learned much about the programs from a recent issue of WSU Alumni Magazine.
