We are overjoyed to share with you our 2024/2025 public season. A season that will be live, dynamic, and in-person at three UW theatres: Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse, The Meany Studio Theatre, and the Glenn Hughes Penthouse.
Because our stages are laboratories where our students practice the skills they are learning in the classroom, our season will showcase works in progress, works of varying styles and genres, and works that will showcase the culmination of the work done at UW.

A group of modern-day actors come together with real questions about justice, what is fair, and how to do right when it seems impossible. They present Brecht’s version of an ancient Chinese story with an original pop rock score to breathe new life into these questions and find their way to answers. This will be the culminating production for MFA directing candidate, Nick O’ Leary.

An epic tale about Jeanne Baret, a little-known 18th century figure who sets out on an 11-year voyage as a botanist’s assistant (presenting male) and becomes the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. Funny, thoughtful, and inventive, it explores questions of gender, authority, accountability, and the uncredited contributions of women throughout history.
