Quarterly Preview
Hosted by TAPS, Quarterly Preview is a quarterly event for the casts and crews of all the shows to meet each other, other performance RSOs, and TAPS staff. 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!
Off-Off Campus Fall Season
Off-Off Campus is the nation’s oldest collegiate improv and sketch comedy group. Every Friday from 4th-8th week, Off-Off Campus will present a never-before-seen comedy show, never to be seen again!
A Weekend of Workshops
Join us for a weekend of workshops, featuring Cassandra by Kassie Rivera, and Strings Attached: In Concert, a new musical by Jefferson Lind and music by Althea Li and Adrian Lo.
Cassandra is a one-act, student-written play, adapted from the Trojan myth of the prophet Cassandra. Strings Attached: In Concert, also student-written, is adapted from the 2011 movie musical The Muppets.
