Theater artists share their visions of a more inclusive America, and Lafayette theater alums chronicle their experiences in the professional world. Panel discussions promise to confront issues raised in Theater Department productions and make all of us better theater-goers.
Check out the dates, times and links to information about our alums and our guest artists.
Production Highlights
Each year, plays are selected to acquaint student performers and technicians with different theatrical genres and styles, and help them develop an aesthetic of performance that is grounded in both theory and practice.
