A full-length drama by Jack Thorne.

Let the Right One In is a supernatural thriller and enchanting coming-of-age romance.

From the Theban plays of Sophocles, Antigone was translated by David R. Slavitt.

Directed by Tara Wibrew

A young man lies dead in the city center, denied burial by the king’s decree. Only Antigone will stand in the face of this injustice–but at what cost? The laws of gods and men are put to the test in Sophocles’s tale of courage, duty, and the undeniable shift of cultural tides.

Introducing: University Theatre’s 2023-24 Season!

Phantom Tollbooth
November 3, 4, 10, 11, 12*, 16, 17, 18, 19*
Play adaptation by Susan Nanus, based on the book The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster.

Directed by Tricia Rodley

Milo travels to Lands Beyond after he finds a tollbooth and map in his room one day. The journey defies expectations and doldrums to reveal adventures in Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. It even inspires a quest to bring back Rhyme and Reason so that balance may be restored in the use of words and numbers. This stage version of the book by Norton Juster encourages us to imagine what we don’t know and risk new answers, even when faced with the same “boring” questions. Ages 10+ recommended.

Congratulations to the Cast & Production team of TWELFTH NIGHT (or what you will) for a successful run! 

One of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies! Twins separated by storm and shipwreck, make their way in the land called Illyria, a place where  both sister and brother must navigate new identities, new loves, pranks and pretensions. If you’ve ever found yourself in love with the “wrong” person and through many mistakes more truly found yourself, this is a play you’ll want to see.
