Last Train to Nibroc
A funny, touching portrait of two people searching for happiness.
Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom
Reality and virtual-ity ooze into each other in this terrifying (and funny) play by Jennifer Haley.
Twelfth Night (or What you Will)
Shakespeare's unforgettable characters, eloquent poetry and poignant songs, Twelfth Night reveals the comedy and consequences of mistaken identity, unrequited love and devilish mischief.
Theatre Showcase
In a relaxed format, each evening’s performance may differ in content as you join us to explore this creative work produced by our theatre and dance students.
A Man of No Importance (musical)
During the course of a tumultuous rehearsal process, Alfie learns that the theatre is not a place to hide from the world, but instead the very place where we may finally discover our true selves.
The Importance of Being Earnest
This superb satire is one of the funniest plays in the English language – the delightful repartee and hilarious piercing of hypocrisy and pomposity will make you laugh out loud.
