Are you a theatre kid, looking for a stage? Have you never acted before, but always wanted to?

GREAT NEWS: This show is for YOU. 

** Come audition for the 31st annual First Year Show! **

What is it?

• A night of short scenes from a variety of plays, exclusively featuring students who have not yet acted on a Middlebury stage.
• A way to meet new people in a low-stakes, high-energy, fun and goofy environment.
• A chance to explore Midd’s Theatre Department, for theatre newcomers and veterans alike! 

Think of this show as Theatre Bootcamp: short, scrappy and an opportunity to try something new. 

Come check it out – You might just love it. 😉

Interested in getting involved in productions not as a performer? 

Interested in being part of a production but not as a performer? There’s more to theatre than what the audience sees! 

You can enroll in our production classes (Fall Production Studio ,THEA 0210 or Spring Production Studio, THEA 0220) as a stage manager or assistant stage manager (requires permission from director), or enroll in THEA 0129 A and create lighting, scenery, and props. Student shows need designers, stage managers and light and sound board operators.
