Special Programs & Projects
Main Stage Productions
Each year the Theatre Department stages four main productions. We tackle a broad range of performances ranging from standards like Shakespeare and Sondheim, to edgy and contemporary works such as Big Love and Marat/Sade. We also stage an opera each year as part of our Lyric Theatre collaboration with the Cornell Music Department. See a calendar for our current season or a list of our recent productions
Guest Artist Program
Our Guest Artist Program brings professionals from all areas of theatre into our classrooms and productions. The program has evolved from a long-standing relationship with Riverside Theatre, Iowa City’s resident performing company, and its artistic directors Ron Clark and Jody Hovland.
Student Productions
Cornell students produce a number of independent performances each year. Among these is the Gumbo Project, a semi-annual festival featuring a range of short works with support from the Student Theatre Council. See a calendar of current student productions
