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.

Home Is Where the TV Is
Friday, January 26, 2024 8:00pm
"Home Is Where the TV Is," a play about the connections between theatre and certain kinds of television, and the way television affects our lives, through a parody lens of two classic shows: Star Trek and Cheers. "Space Jaunt" showrunner Leah Jottenby finds out her budget is being cut into by her rival, "Beers" showrunner George Barrows, and they clash at a production meeting. When George makes a snide remark about a crossover episode between the two shows, their boss Eric Grantham demands the crossover be produced. Leah and George are forced to put their differences aside and work together to combine their passion projects together, and the casts of both shows are caught in the crossfire.
