2021-2022 Season
Broadway Workshop
October 7 and 8, 2021
Come join us for Broadway Workshop ‘21 on October 7th and 8th at 5 pm on the N-building steps! Showcasing staged readings of scenes from plays recently performed on and off Broadway, the Broadway Workshop allows students and staff directors to introduce their new favorite play or cherished classic to our theatre community. This year’s plays range from a Tony winner for Best New Musical to an off-broadway introspection on how the term “Asian American” came to be. Rated PG-13 for matures themes and language.
Robots vs.
Fake Robots
November 5-13, 2021
It’s Mean Girls meets Brave New World. The year is 6000 AD and robots have taken over the planet. People, or "Peetles" as robots call them, barely survive on the fringes of civilization and are destroyed if discovered by the ultra-popular, and monstrously cruel robots. Every so often a human decides to forsake their fate and strives to “become” a robot. A fake robot. Come join us for David Largman Murray’s dark, comic science-fiction tale about a man who does everything he can to join a group that will destroy him. Rated PG-13 for mature themes and language.
Play in a Day
December 18, 2021
Gunn Theatre alumni and current students come together to rehearse and perform ten-minute plays in one 24 hour period! Authors write their play overnight, and the following day everyone rehearses until showtime at 7:00 that evening. The results are always astonishing and often miraculous!
Comedy of Errors
March 18-26, 2022
Antipholus, and his family, and Dromio, his servant, reside in the town of Ephesus. Little do they know that their long-lost twins (yes, both Antipholus and Dromio have long-lost twins WITH THE SAME NAMES) have come to Ephesus looking for their long-lost siblings! With two sets of twins, the story becomes a zany tale of mistaken identity, or one might say-- a comedy of errors. Shakespeare steals this plot from Roman Comedy and creates a tale of a town and a beautiful story of reunion and family.
Spring Festival
May 12-15, 2022
Spring Festival consists of four student-directed works from seniors in the Gunn Theatre department. This year, there are two comedies and two student-written works (one of which is a musical!)
