It has come to my attention that at least one person has looked at this blog in the past month. So, I think that constitutes an update!




As is evident by the infrequent postings, University Theatre has been very busy! Each day brings us closer to moving into the new space and opening a brand new season! It is all very exciting and very time consuming.

Currently, our students are working hard on our upcoming production, NEVER THE SINNER.




The production is based on the Leopold and Loeb story, which actually got some recent press in the Smithsonian Magazine if you happen to run across that. The story focuses on the relationship of the two men and the drama that surrounds their involvment in the "crime of the century" eventhough it took place in 1924 and there were "75 years to go" (as the cast of RAGTIME may put it) until the end of the century. Terri Janney will be coming back to NCSU to direct the show. It will run Feb 18 - 22, 2009 in Stewart Theatre. Call Ticket Central for tickets at 515.1100. Student tickets are only $5!


As I mentioned, things are coming into place as we think about our move back into the Frank Thompson Building. The University Theatre staff's summer will likely be filled with boxes, packing peanuts, sweat and hopefully no blood or tears. We are in the process of filling all those empty offices with fresh new faces who are ready to hit the ground running and create our stunning new season of shows.


The selection of the 0910 season still continues but once we have it finalized - you will be the first to know. Well, we'll be the first to know, but you will come in close second.


We thank everyone for their continued support and attendance at University Theatre productions and look forward to celebrating the new Frank Thompson Building with all of you.


Keep visiting, and I'll keep posting...
