Theater[24] Showcase
Theater [24] is a wild ride of a theater festival where students write, produce, direct, rehearse and perform short plays centered around a secret theme all in the span of 24 hours! Come see the culmination of their work, or signup here to participate! Tickets are $4 and can be purchased in advance or at the door.
Game & Trivia “Night”
Come chill with UT at our week-capping game and trivia “night”! All are invited, from first- to fourth-year; reconnect with old friends, and meet some new ones! Non-formal, just bring yourself and maybe even your brain. Capacity in Logan 028 is capped at 28 people, so depending on turnout, we may ask folks to rotate out of the room.
Project Day
Hosted by TAPS, Project Day is a big quarterly event for the casts and crews of all the shows to meet each other, other performance RSOs, and TAPS staff. This year, it’s also doubling as an open house for new students! Feel free to come even if you are not on a show - it’s a great way to meet theater people and learn about the performance opportunities at UChicago!
Company Meets Company Bash!
Following Project Day, UT will be hosting an informal social gathering at the Point, accompanied by a bonfire! Come mingle with theater friends while relaxing at the best views Lake Michigan has to offer. Bring your own beverages and snacks.
Staged Readings
Come watch staged readings of eight scenes written, directed, and performed by students! This is a free event!
Weekend of Workshops
Come see workshopped scenes from two student-written plays: The Heirs and Ah Wing and the Automaton Eagle.
Love’s Labour’s Lost
Come see the Dean’s Men’s Fall show, classic Shakespeare comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost. A free preview will take place Thursday, Nov 18th at 7:30pm.
