The Theatre & Dance Department and the Music Department join forces for an exciting collaborative event: an evening of opera and musical theatre, helmed by talented up-and-coming directors!
21 Chump Street showcases Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda’s signature sound in the heartbreaking musical story of an honor-roll student who falls madly in love with the new girl in class. He’ll do anything to impress her — but she’s not who she claims to be.
Gilbert & Sullivan’s signature wit and charm are on full display in the lively one-act courtroom farce Trial By Jury, one of the pair’s first collaborations, in which a jilted young lady sues her fickle fiancé for breach of contract.
Gian Carlo Menotti’s hilarious 1946 operetta The Telephone takes a light-hearted look at love American-style! Ben wants to pop the question — but how can he get a ring on Lucy’s finger when her phone won’t stop ringing?
