FURMAN MADE

The Furman Theatre Bicentennial Season

In celebration of Furman University’s Bicentennial, Furman Theatre proudly presents FURMAN MADE – a season honoring the artists, collaborators, and creative voices that have shaped this department across generations.

Featuring work by acclaimed alumni playwrights Randall David Cook ’91 and Imani-Grace King ’19, a new musical by Margaret Rose Caterisano and Elli Caterisano ’18, and a culminating Fringe Festival featuring returning alumni artists Bob Beshere ’03, Jax Pratt ’22, and Regina Wells ‘16 alongside current students, this bicentennial season celebrates theatre as a living, collaborative art form rooted in mentorship, experimentation, and shared creativity.

Throughout the year, alumni actors, designers, and theatre makers will return to campus to collaborate with current students, strengthening the connection between Furman’s past, present, and future. Bold, inventive, and deeply connected to the Furman community, FURMAN MADE reflects 200 years of learning by doing—and looks forward to the next generation of Furman artists.

FURMAN MADE.
Crafted here. Carried forward.

Single tickets for the first half of the season go on sale August 1 (the second half goes on sale January 1). A Season Flex Pass (4 tickets for $50) is available for the 26/27 season.
