Students perform in "Head Over Heels"

University Theatre

Where the classroom meets the stage. We provide students with opportunities to put into practice the lessons they learn in our classrooms, from performance and technical skills to historical knowledge to the role of the arts in grappling with social and cultural change.

Coming Soon!

Willkommen to the Kit Kat Klub. In this provocative, multiple Tony Award-winning musical, the euphoria of free expression, new relationships, and the seedy nightclub scene slowly fades away against the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party.
