This reimagined production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a collaborative, devised project in which we frame the text through contemporary fandom and the desires of the minoritarian reader. 

The longing looks between lovers from across ballrooms and the way they must touch one another with their eyes since to go any further would be forbidden resonate with the queer reader. Queer desire lingers in these glances, in the seconds before hands touch in a dance, and the centimeters of space between two palms. This production explores these charged scenes as moments of queer potentiality, claiming the novel as ours to read, love, and embody!

The theater program is a strong liberal arts training program designed to provide students with a foundation in the areas of performances, design and technology, and history and literature. In addition, students are required to choose an emphasis in performance, design and technology, or production management to study at an advanced level. Throughout a student's years in the program, there are ample opportunities to apply both academic knowledge and acquired skills to a variety of live production experiences. A senior project in a student's particular area of emphasis serves as a capstone to culminate four years of study. All of this theoretical and hands-on learning takes place in a personal, supportive, collegial environment. We pride ourselves on personal mentorship of each theater student. As a theater major or minor, you will find tremendous opportunities both on-and-off stage to fulfill your artistic goals and cultivate a lifelong connection to theater.
