From Shakespeare to Sara Ruhl, Clifford Odets to Oscar Wilde, compelling drama and movement abound on our stages. Full-fledged productions, staged readings, cabaret nights and dance performances are held throughout the academic year.
The Yulman Performing Arts Center includes the main Yulman Theater as well as a black box theater; an actor’s studio; classroom, rehearsal and lecture spaces; a costume shop; and a design studio that serves as a teaching space for theatrical design courses. The scene shop accommodates stagecraft classes and specialty construction classes. The Yulman Theater lobby, a popular gathering space, wraps around the main stage, connecting to the Henle Dance Pavilion.
Factoid: Students interested in theater also get involved with the Mountebanks, a drama club founded in 1912 that is considered the nation’s oldest student-run performing group.
