That's a visual image of the performing and fine arts at the University of Wisconsin- Washington County in West Bend. "We have to be careful in scheduling between play rehearsal and performances by outside groups," said UW-WC music professor Peter Gibeau, who directs the Moraine Chorus, composed of university students and community members or "communiversity." Among the world-renown performers on the two-year campus has been Pro Arte String Quartet, comprised of University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty. "Because we are part the UW System we can afford them," Gibeau said. All the activities put a demand on the UW- WC Theatre. The Homegrown Theatre, com- prised of home-school families, put its set on wheels because of rehearsal and performanc- es by Homegrown and other groups, said Jeani Slaymer, the group's public relations liaison.
