Thurber Theatre
Arguably one of the best farces ever written, Noises Off is Tony Award winning playwright Michael Frayn’s popular side-splitting comedy. Sight lines begin to blur as the cast of a traditional sex farce called Nothing On rehearses and performs while plenty of drama brews backstage. As the performance of Nothing On rapidly deteriorates on stage, the characters find themselves making entrances into an even bigger mess backstage.
By Stephen R. Culp
Directed by Jimmy Bohr

Roy Bowen Theatre
One by one, scientists at a remote outpost in Antarctica are undergoing horrifying behavioral changes. The search for a missing woman leads to a deeply disturbing encounter in a seedy Istanbul nightclub. An anti-globalization activist is tortured in a dark CIA prison. Mind control? Global corporate conspiracy? The fate of mankind? It all drifts together like the continents in the California bedroom of a 15-year-old boy. Pangea is a terrifying and intriguing exploration of 21st century "what-ifs.”

CAPA’s Southern Theatre
Godspell sprang from a graduate student's master's thesis workshop production and ultimately developed into one of the biggest musical theatre successes of all time. Using the Episcopal Hymnal and the Gospel according to Matthew as source materials, a musical celebration of the parables of Christ comes to life in song and dance. Featuring such memorable songs as "Day by Day,” "All Good Gifts" and "By My Side," the musical score by Stephen Schwartz has become a Broadway legend.
With Godspell we celebrate our return to the historic Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus and once again partner with CAPA to bring our outstanding student work to an even wider audience.
Student Generated New Work
Spring quarter offers two different venues to showcase the remarkable new work created by our imaginative group of graduate and undergraduate students.
As the final project for our three-year Master of Fine Arts in Acting program, each of the ten students will share their artistry with an original solo project. In a festival atmosphere in our Mount Hall Studio Theatre, groups of five will perform their works on successive nights, pushing themselves to new creative heights and challenging our audience with the best of contemporary new work.
May 7 at 7:30 pm - Group A
May 8 at 7:30 pm - Group B
May 9 at 3:00 pm - Group A
May 9 at 7:30 pm - Group B
May 10 at 3:00 pm - Group B
May 10 at 7:30 pm - Group A
Studio Theatre
Focus later in the quarter shifts to our undergraduate new work creators with only four performances of a unique project to be produced in the Roy Bowen Theatre. Given the theme of "change" as an inspiration, teams of undergraduate students will present original work they have developed throughout the course of the school year. This "sandbox" production will be supported with the limited props, costumes, and scenic elements. The rest is up to the imagination of the students and audience alike.
