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.
Our Current Production
USI THEATRE PRESENTS ITS INAUGURAL SUMMER PRODUCTION
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Bowen
Book by Hunter Bell
Directed by Joshua Robinson
Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers, hear about a new musical theatre festival. However, the deadline for submissions is a mere three weeks away. With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends Susan, Heidi and Larry they make a pact to write up until the festival's deadline and dream about the show changing their lives. [title of show] -- taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the "[title of show]" -- follows Hunter and Jeff and their friends on their journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression. In the span of 90 minutes they write and perform their show at the festival and learn lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists.
[title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theatre -- a uniquely American art form -- and to the joy of collaboration.
