Founded during the fall of 1995, the Georgetown Players are dedicated to the Jesuit ideal of building men and women to serve others. To this end, they perform activities of interest to the members of the Georgetown campus, as well as to the residents of the Washington community. The Improvisational Troupe focuses on providing high quality comedic entertainment through sketch comedy, games and other Improv techniques. The Theatre Company is committed to community service. They bring unique forms of theatre to different parts of the community where the performing arts are not commonplace.
Some academic departments produce plays as part of their course offerings.
Faculty from the English, French, German, Russian and Spanish Departments as well as the Dept. of Art, Music and Theatre have produced plays in the past. Occasionally, the Office of Performing Arts will work with these departments to present these plays. Auditions are open to all students who take the department's course. Plays are performed in both formal and informal settings. Occasionally, fees are charged to attend these productions but most are usually free to the University community.
