Upcoming Events

  • Love and Weirdness – the 31st Annual First Show

    The First Show is a special production of the Middlebury Theatre Department – a chance for students who haven’t yet been on a Midd stage to take a shot at acting. This show is for those brave, bold souls who want to get up there and try something.

    This “set list” of scenes focuses on Love – and the clunky baggage that inevitably accompanies it. Love is fickle. It’s weird. It’s the best. It drives every meaningful interaction we have in this life. So, let’s take a good look at it. MWUAH.
