This 2021/22 season we’re welcoming all our patrons back to campus. While we learned a lot about approaching theatre through different modalities last season, we’re excited to get back to performing live for the public again. Don’t worry, we won’t forget what we’ve learned, and you’ll find that we will offer lots of options this next season as we all get back together.
Single tickets go on sale for each show 2-weeks prior to opening. An “All Access Pass” is currently available for $25. If off-campus are not permitted indoors, we will provide a streaming option for productions this season.

DO YOU FEEL ANGER? by Mara Nelson-Greenberg February 22-27
