This 2019-2020 season we’re celebrating 50 years of producing theatre in The Playhouse. The Theatre Arts Department has been a staple of the liberal arts curriculum at Furman for nearly a century. Part of that curriculum is the Furman University Theatre main stage season that entertains, educates, and engages thousands of students and patrons each year.
