KU Theatre

Welcome to the 2011 - 12 University Theatre Season

In this, our 88th year, the University Theatre devotes its season to Imagining America, demonstrating the significance of theatre in telling the stories that create American lives. From classic American drama to the work of new artists, the plays of our 2011-12 season are each theatrical expressions on American themes: a meditation on the American Dream, an exploration of foreign stereotypes, a peek at the sensuality of American southern culture, a farcical look at Old World high literature in the new world idiom of American film, and an American coming-of-age musical tale.

The University Theatre is proud to be an educational theatre dedicated to producing quality productions while nurturing our student actors, directors, and designers. Join us this year in celebrating the talents of the students, faculty and staff of KU Theatre as we all Imagine America.

Artistic Director University Theatre
