MAINSTAGE SHOWS
Stage Troupe produces three mainstage shows each semester, including the Family & Friends Weekend Show in the fall and the Theatre in Action Show in the spring. The shows are pitched and selected by the membership with the exception of the Family & Friends Weekend Show and the Theatre in Action Show. The former is selected by the Dean of Students, and the latter is selected by the Vice President of Special Projects.
Family & Friends Weekend Show: Stage Troupe partners with the Dean of Students to produce the weekend’s primary entertainment event. Typically a musical, the show is performed in the state-of-the-art Tsai Performance Center.
Theatre in Action: This show is Stage Troupe’s community outreach project. The funds raised from this production benefit a local or national charity of the director’s choice.
Special projects
In addition to the three mainstage shows, each semester Stage Troupe puts on a number of special projects intended to provide more unique acting and tech opportunities for the membership. These have included everything from Staged Readings to a One-Acts Festival, to COMBAT, a 24-hour writing and acting marathon performed in conjunction with other theatre groups on campus. In addition, every summer the membership has a special opportunity to continue participating in theatre. The Summer Show runs on a weekly basis during Orientation sessions to introduce students to Stage Troupe and the general extracurricular activities available at BU.
