Who we are:

We are an extra-curricular student theater ensemble that performs classical works by Shakespeare and other authors. As an ensemble, we maintain a close-knit atmosphere as actors and technical theater members to explore the aspects of theater together. We perform one mainstage show per semester, plus "Scene Nights", performances of black-box scenes from any play, and sometimes a low-tech summer show.

 

What's new:

Our summer show has opened! There will be six performances of Jean-Paul Sartre's Dirty Hands ("Les Mains Sales") over the next two weekends. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $5. See more details here.

Our fall 2008 production will be A Midsummer Night's Dream. Keep an eye out for technical position interviews and auditions announcements!


This semester we performed Twelfth Night as our mainstage production, followed soon afterwards by a 24-hour show called William Shakespeare: Vampire Hunter, which we wrote, designed, rehearsed, and performed all in the span of 24 hours.
