The University Musical Society of the University of Michigan (also known as UMS) has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with IATSE Local #395. UMS is able to bring the finest dance, theater, and music from around the world to our community with confidence that our presentations and productions will be mounted and staged with the highest degree of knowledge, skill, and commitment to excellence because of our partnership with our IATSE colleagues. Our visiting artists and ensembles have universally high praise for the professionalism of our stagehands as do we at UMS who work with them in up to 75 performances a year. Congratulations as you celebrate 100 years of outstanding service to the performing arts in our community.
