The UVM Department of Theatre presents three mainstage shows each academic year, 2 productions in the fall semester and 1 production in the spring semester. In addition, there is also a fundraiser in December where we present a concert version of a broadway musical and the Spring Festival of Plays in April. The Festival is comprised of senior thesis projects.
Auditions are open to all UVM students. In some cases professional actors serve as guest artists on productions or community members are cast in order to fulfill the needs of a particular show.

The Wolves
By Sarah DeLappe
Directed by Sarah Carleton
October 2 - 5 @ 7:30PM
October 5 & 6 @ 2:00PM
Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girl’s indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.
The Normal Heart
By Larry Kramer
Directed by Gregory Ramos
November 6 - 9 @ 7:30PM
November 9 & 10 @ 2:00PM
A searing drama about public and private indifference to the AIDS plague and one man’s lonely fight to awaken the world to the crisis. Produced to acclaim in New York, London and Los Angeles, The Normal Heart follows Ned Weeks, a gay activist enraged at the public indifference of public officials and the gay community. While trying to save the world from itself, he confronts the personal toll of AIDS when his lover dies of the disease.
Jesus Christ Superstar

Directed by Gregory Ramos

Dec. 7 @ 2:00PM
Set during the final week of Jesus' life, the story is told from the perspective of infamous betrayer Judas Iscariot. Originally conceived as a concept album that hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, the show eventually made its way to the stage in 1971 and garnered five Tony nominations in addition to winning a Drama Desk Award for Andrew Lloyd Webber. UVM Department of Theatre will present this electrifying theatrical event in a concert version. This presentation will raise funds to support the department’s production season.

Shakespeare in Love
By Tom Stoppard, Lee Hall and Marc Norman
Directed by Craig Wells
February 26 - 29 @ 7:30PM
February 29 & March 1 @ 2:00PM
Young Will Shakespeare has writer's block... the deadline for his new play is fast approaching but he's in desperate need of inspiration. That is, until he finds his muse – Viola. This beautiful young woman is Will’s greatest admirer and will stop at nothing (including breaking the law) to appear in his next play.
Against a bustling background of mistaken identity, ruthless scheming and backstage theatrics, Will’s love for Viola quickly blossoms and inspires him to write his greatest masterpiece.
