Each year, we have a handful of special projects.  These are opportunities that have come to our Department, unique offerings that don’t fit in our mainstage or gallery seasons.

Honors Projects are normally presented on one or two days in MacVey Theatre during the week following Spring Break. Projects must be proposed at least one semester in advance. Proposals submitted in April will take precedence. These projects may rehearse no more than 3 weeks, including the performance week.
