2009-2010 THEATRE SEASON


Join Valpo Department of Theatre for another exciting season of theatrical productions!  

This year, the mainstage season begins with Fuddy Meers by David Lindsay-Abaire, a comedy that is sure to leave you guessing and laughing in equal measures. This wacky comedy, packed full of colorful characters, will be followed by Joe Masteroff’s raunchy musical adventure, Cabaret. Energetic song and dance, along with jazzy instrumentals, highlight this musical that is both exuberant and, at times, sinister.

In the spring, VU Dance Ensemble will present their 11th annual performance, which will incorporate students, professionals and locals who lend their creativity to the stage to create a collage of dance. The season will then culminate with William Shakespeare's classic production, Twelfth Night, which delves deeply into the comedic pockets of the bard in order to tell a delightful tale of love and the extraordinary courses that it takes.

In addition to these mainstage offerings, the Theatre Department will also feature a wide variety of outreach performances and student-driven projects throughout the year, including the touring children’s play, Little Bear, the audience-interactive production of Keeping Up, Shakespeare Under the Stars, the Directing Showcase and a 1-2-3-4-5 production. It promises to be a wonderful year and we hope that you will join us.
