Past Productions
2024-2025
This year, the Department of Theatre presented “Old Stories, New Voices.” Each show in the 2024/2025 season is a contemporary adaptation, a spinoff, or a modern reimagining of a world classic—a play that has stood the test of time and brilliantly articulates universal themes that offer revelations, insights, and clarity to readers and theatregoers of any era. Each of the shows in the season will give a fresh take on these classic stories, and each of the four plays will be accompanied by a secondary event that explores the original source material and asks the question: What makes a story a classic? The season included Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, Playboy of the Western World, Clybourne Park, and Antigone Now.
