University Theater

Performing Arts on Campus

Under the direction of the Drama Department, the University Theater is an extracurricular organization that presents a series of major productions annually. While each production's acting company and technical crew is composed of students from every university program, those pursuing the course of study in drama have found that this opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into exciting and challenging practice is essential to their growth in this field. The goal of the University Theater is to provide the University community with a repertoire of productions representing the most stimulating artists, forms, and visions from the world of drama

Ways and Means PosterWays and Means

By Noël Coward
Directed by Braden Barber

Ways and Means is a witty, effervescent comedy set in the 1930’s, in which charming but feckless couple Toby and Stella Cartwright are going to be evicted from a friend’s luxurious villa on the French Riviera. Penniless and wracked with gambling debts, the two plot, wheedle, and bicker with each other in a last-ditch effort to save their reputation.

by George Kelly
Directed by Sienna Abbott

The Flattering Word is a passionate, satirical comedy set in a small town in Ohio in 1905 in which a vaudeville actor disrupts the world of a rural pastor who believes that the church is directly opposed to the theater. The actor uses flattery to open the minds of the parsonage residents, revealing that perhaps the pastor and the actor are more alike than they initially thought.
