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:

This summer, we will be performing Jean-Paul Sartre's Dirty Hands ("Les Mains Sales"), directed by Kellas Cameron '010. Performances will take place in Kresge Little Theater at 8:00 PM on July 17-19 and 24-26.


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.

This past fall, we put on Shakespeare's tragedy of Titus Andronicus. This past summer, the Shakespeare Ensemble performed James Goldman's The Lion in Winter, a show about King Henry II of England and his dysfunctional family.
