The Undergraduate Workshop Series serves new works that are ready for a first public performance and staging. There will be no design beyond basic furniture, actors’ own dress, and available lighting. Hand props and furniture props may be checked out. Media and projection may be used at the discretion of the DOT. However, the use of scenery and costume shop inventory is not permitted. These projects rehearse no more than 4 weeks and are usually performed in MacVey Theatre. Workshop Team Leaders should complete the Directing I course at least one semester before the semester in which their play is produced.
Tickets for workshops and galleries are free of charge; however, you must obtain a ticket at the door and seating is limited.
