The University of Southern Indiana Theatre produces four mainstage productions annually, with USI performing arts students as actors, sound and light engineers, costume and set designers.

The USI Theatre season is designed to introduce students to a wide range of theatre styles, from musical to drama, contemporary to classic.

Once a year, students have the opportunity to act alongside professional actors in the Repertory Project. Students gain valuable experience and first hand knowledge from members of the Actors' Equity Association for their roles in the Repertory Project production.

Dr. Chuck Conaway, Professor of English, specializes in English Renaissance Literature and Shakespeare. His research focuses on the proliferation of Shakespeare from the 18th century stage to our own present day popular culture, including his circulation in rock music, film, dystopian novels, and most recently, graphic novels.

A reception with snacks and refreshments will follow the performance.
