About this season:

Along with other area theatres, University Theatre's evening shows will begin at 7:30 pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm. Our shows will open on Wednesday nights in the Titmus and Kennedy McIlwee Studio theatres, and for our productions in Stewart Theatre, with the exception of The Heidi Chronicles, which will debut a Friday night special opening.

 

Because of the construction at the Talley Student Center, we will be performing in Stewart Theatre only in fall of 2012; the spring semester shows will be in Thompson, and will run a few days longer giving you more opportunity to see the shows! But also because of the construction, we will only be presenting four shows instead of our usual five, in order to give some of the other ARTS NC STATE organizations some time to bring you excellent entertainment in the Thompson theatres.

THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF EACH PRODUCTION IS COMMUNITY NIGHT! ALL TICKETS (EXCEPT NCSU STUDENTS) ARE ONLY $10! Save money, introduce a friend to the theatre, enjoy a great show for a bargain price! (Note: Shows in Stewart do not have a second Wednesday).

 

And note that again this year, we are proud to be presenting one of our main season shows in the Kennedy-McIlwee Studio Theatre. Seating is more limited for this theatre, so it's a great reason to get your package early!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Book by Jeffrey Lane, Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek
September 26-30, 2012, Stewart Theatre

Is there room for two con men to fleece the French Riviera’s rich ladies out of their money? The sophisticated Lawrence Jameson and small-time crook Freddy Benson disastrously attempt a partnership, and find out quickly that the small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They make an agreement: the first one to extract $50 grand from heiress Christine Colgate wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that keeps audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end! Based on the popular 1988 film featuring Steve Martin. >more

Alice in Wonderland
Based on the book by Lewis Carroll
Adapted by Jayme Mellema
November 14-18, 28-December 2, 2012, Titmus Theatre, Thompson Hall

Follow us down the Rabbit Hole to Wonderland, as we accompany Alice through the bizarre dream world where she encounters the exaggerated absurdity of nonsensical rules of adult behavior  as seen through the eyes of a child. Combining live actors, puppetry, projection, music, sound and lighting, the classic tale comes to life with all the humorous favorite characters: the White Rabbit and the Mouse, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, The Caterpillar and the Queen of Hearts, and of course, the Cheshire Cat! This unique adaptation was conceived, designed and directed by University Theatre’s scenic designer and UNC School of the Arts graduate Jayme Mellema. A family treat!

“It is a universal story and so belongs to all time. It has never gone out of fashion and never will as long as children love wonder-stories and grown-ups have young hearts. Florence Milner in The Poems in Alice in Wonderland

An Inspector Calls
by J. B. Priestly
February 13-17, 20-24,2013 Titmus Theatre, Thompson Hall

In an English industrial city in 1912, the eminently respectable Birling family is celebrating their daughter’s engagement when a doorbell interrupts the family festivities. It is an inspector who says he is investigating the suicide of a young woman who worked at the Birling’s factory until she was fired for leading a strike for better pay. What starts as an evening of celebration in a close-knit family increasingly deteriorates as the inspector interrogates and implicates each member of the group. But after the inspector departs, it is revealed that he is not who he said he was, and the mystery deepens. What kind of hoax is tearing this family apart? An engaging psychological thriller.

“An intriguing, clever piece of theatre that leaves you thinking about it long after the curtain call.” Official London Theatre
