Join the Wayne State Insiders and explore the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance on Thursday, April 18, from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the Hilberry Theatre.

Get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the department's programs, meet talented students, and tour the resource areas that help frame the stories told on stage by Wayne State actors and dancers. Attendees will also receive a special incentive to return for a performance.

The Wayne State Insiders group includes alumni, friends, students, parents, faculty and staff who serve as informal ambassadors for Wayne State and the Midtown community.

"We welcome anyone excited about the positive impact of WSU and Detroit's urban renewal. The more we learn, the more we can share, and the greater our collective impact," says Amy Roberge, WSU marketing services coordinator. "We all have Warrior pride. This group gives you an opportunity to expand that pride with lots of examples to share."

The Wayne State Insiders launched the fall semester 2012. Since its inception, thousands have attended events and toured sites on campus.
