Tulane University Theatre: Production In an average academic year, Tulane University Theatre produces three to four mainstage productions directed by faculty or professional guest artists. With a commitment to select its seasons from all eras of theatre history, the faculty have recently presented productions of modern plays such as The Fifth of July, Hallowed Ground, The Death of Zukasky, Anton in Show Business, and Privates Eyes; and masterpieces and classics such as The Rivals, Enemy of the People, Comedy of Errors and The Hostage. The department's productions take place in the Albert Lupin Experimental Theater, a fully equipped flexible "black-box" theater, with large-scaled works produced at times in Tulane's Dixon Hall, a 1,000-seat proscenium theater. From late May through mid-August, the program hosts the repertory season of The Shakespeare Festival at Tulane, an Actor's Equity Company, with an intern program offering college students from around the country the opportunity to work and perform with seasoned professional actors, directors, and designers. The campus also hosts the Music Department's Tulane Summer Lyric Theatre in Dixon Hall, where large-scale popular musicals take place from June to August. The Patchwork Players Children's Theatre, housed in the university's Rogers Memorial Chapel, presents lively entertainment to New Orleans youngsters. Back to the Theatre Program
