We offer a variety of social gatherings and workshops throughout the semester designed to foster friendships, encourage creativity, and strengthen our organization.

Upcoming Events

Bang Auditions

When: January 28 and 29
Where: English Building, Room 108

Ready to wield the deadliest weapon in theatre - the finger gun ?

We’re casting for BANG, an action-packed comedy where hand cannons are literal and "plot armor" is the only thing keeping you alive. We need actors ready to dive into a genre-bending world of romance, betrayal, and every other marketable buzzword we could fit into one script. Come show us your best stage death and help us bring this ridiculous, high-stakes mystery to life!
