The COS Theatre program is dedicated to the advancement of the theatre arts, through traditional study and performance, and to the development of new theatrical ventures. We prepare students for further study and for an ever-changing profession.
Our Performing Arts Department is excited to start the Fall Semester and along with our regular classes there will be a ton of opportunities for students and community members to join the fun. Both of our adjunct faculty, Kim Nile and Kathryn Young, will be on board for the Fall Productions!
Join Kim for 'The Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe' from A Midsummer's Night's Dream. We plan to focus on the scenes where the comedic craftsmen (or "“mechanicals," as Shakespeare calls them) cast, rehearse and finally perform their play for Theseus and Hyppolayta's wedding. We will follow their entire story line.
If you are up for a fun acting challenge and want to dive into Shakespearean text, this play is for you. We’d love to have you join us! Whether you are college-aged, in high school or in the community, we have parts for all.
Rehearsals are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm.
Kathryn will be directing 'My Mother*!^%! College Life' a play created by Michael Bigelow Dixon and Brooke Jennett. What's in the minds and hearts of college students today? Through monologues and a few dialogues, this multicultural ensemble questions everything they encounter: social justice and gender identity, self-awareness and relationship boundaries, future prospects and roommate etiquette. What emerges is a humorous and heartbreaking portrait of a new generation struggling with higher education's promise of "personal transformation."
Rehearsals are Monday and Wednesday, 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm.
We are also open to ideas from students if they have a scene/piece that they would like to see performed for what we are calling our "Fall Showcase."
There is a sign up sheet on the call board in the DLC – please sign up ahead for auditions which will be held on September 2 from 4:30 – 7:00 pm.. Be prepared to stay for the duration of the auditions. Call backs will be held on September 3 from 4:30 – 7:00 pm.
In addition we have a very special Play that is being devised and developed by our own Neil Carpentier-Alting and local educator Dave Theno along with a group of students. This will be our Spring Musical, "Deus Ex Machina, The World Game." Such an amazing opportunity to be part of the birth of this show.
