Performances & Events
Enjoy the Creativity of DU Theatre Students
Each quarter, the DU Department of Theatre puts on two productions, built and acted by our theatre majors. The department collaborates with professional guest artists who bring their outside expertise and experience to help students grow creatively.
Shows are performed at DU's JMAC Studios, Byron Flexible Theatre and Byron Studio. Spring quarter is dedicated to the Short Play Festival, which features one-act plays directed by graduating theatre majors.
