We’re so excited that you’re interested in UT! We have a wide range of programming, suited for people of all experience levels & time-commitments. To stay in the loop about our events, shows, and opportunities, join one or more of our mailing lists.

UT Mainstages

UT mainstages are UT’s primary season of shows. Mainstages are our highest production-value and highest commitment shows, and there are always a variety of roles, depending on experience and time-commitment.

We typically produce 7-10 mainstage shows per year, including 3 by The Dean’s Men (our Shakespeare sub-organization).

Get involved as an actor, designer, or manager or propose a show!

Short Play Showcase

Short Play Showcases are a place for shorter, often more experimental shows. They tend to have a more laid-back production atmosphere and lower time-commitment while maintaining the drive and strong sense of community that make UT so special.

We typically produce 2-4 Short Plays per quarter in the fall and winter.
