Short Play Showcase: We’re Live

We’re Live follows a college boy, Ky, who is looking to make it big as a streamer in the ever-changing environment of content creators. As he changes his plans and ideas to grow an ever-increasing following, what does he have to sacrifice in order to make his dream a reality? Will he have to alter who he is? Only time will tell how much needs to be lost so that he gains what he’s wanted.

Oct. 30 - Nov. 1, 7:30pm + Nov. 1, 2:00pm

Our Town

Our Town is a play written by Thorton Wilder. It is set in the early 1900’s and is about the daily life of a small town in New England. It is an exploration of the themes of life, love, and death through the characters within the show.

Nov. 6-8, 7:30pm + Nov. 8, 2pm

As Y’all Like It

The people have asked and we have answered: the Dean’s Men’s doing a lesbian cowboy show. When Rosalind and her loyal cousin Celia flee into the forest to escape the scheming Duke Frederick, they encounter a world where gender, power, and authority are unsteady at best. Meanwhile, Rosalind’s love interest Orlando is being cheated out of her inheritance by her brother Oliver whenever she’s not showing off her poetry and physique to the ladies. When the lovers meet again in the woods, hijinks ensue as women dress as men, shepherds outsmart courtesans, and someone gets in a fight with a lion.

Nov. 13-15, 7:30pm + Nov. 15, 2pm

Meet UT Committee

Come meet Committee and ask us any questions you have about student theater on campus, as well as get to know us & give us the chance to meet you! Everyone on Committee actively works on or acts in shows almost every quarter, so this is a great opportunity to meet a lot of people you’ll be working with for the next few years! We’re absolutely looking forward to getting the chance to meet y’all! The TAPS Lounge is on the 2nd floor just past the woodshop, but can be hard to find, so feel free to ask the front desk for directions.

Blueprint with Student Government

Learn more about how RSOs work on campus at this event, hosted by University Student Government! This event focusses on Blueprint (the RSO website) and the opportunities for student involvement on campus. Members of award-winning student organizations have been invited to speak as well, and UT is one of those organizations, having won the Sense of Community Award just last year! So, you’ll get the chance to hear from members of the UT Committee.

UT Cabaret

At the Logan Party, in the Logan Café, we’ll be doing our annual UT Cabaret—in brief, a karaoke night where you’ll get to sing, meet members of the community (as well as other prospective ones such as yourself!), and be merry! While there, you’ll also get another opportunity to sign up for listhosts and hear about upcoming projects. Come and go freely; it’ll be going ‘til the party’s over!

Thursday, Sept. 25, 9:30-11:30pm

Exploring TAPS

Join us in Logan Theater West to hear about the Committee on Theater and Performance Studies (TAPS) and the various Performing Arts Roundtable (PAR) RSOs (that’s us!)
