All aspects of these plays, from costume, set, and lighting design to technical production and budgeting, are done by graduating students. The public exercises recreate the same atmosphere, schedule, and demands as those of a professional production. Students consolidate and apply their combined experience in sustained and complete creative arcs, from conception to closing night, collaborating with their fellow artists and their guest directors.
Public exercises are open to the public, with tickets costing five dollars each.
Plays generally run for five days, from Tuesday to Saturday. Below are some photographs from the 1998-2000 season. In French, surtitled in English. Due to limited seating, we recommend that tickets for performances at the du Maurier Theatre be purchased well in advance.
