2026-2027 Season
We welcome you to experience our 2026-2027 theatrical season, “DARE to be fearless and true.” This season’s shows explore how finding something true often comes from taking a leap. Just as every theatre student who steps onto a stage encounters the unknown, we hope you experience the thrill of discovery with our eclectic and enchanting season. While we change our themes from season to season, we remain steadfast in our departmental goals of educating students to thrive in the 21st century world of performance. Last year, your donations helped us raise our awardable scholarship support by nearly ten thousand dollars.
We only dare to be fearless and true because of our community, and without your support, we could never have reached and sustained the level of excellence that you see in our productions. With sincere appreciation,
− Tessa Carr, PhD, AUTD Chairperson
