2003-2004 Season
The Theater Program's 2002-03 Season featured four productions. The season opener is a contemporary staging of "The Cradle Will Rock," an American labor musical filled with comedy, politics and social conscience. In February 2004, we presented "The Colored Museum," a panoramic journey of African-American performance history and a favorite of GU audiences. Satiric and celebratory, this production marked the 25th anniversary of Black Theater Ensemble's work at Georgetown. "The Balcony," an avant-garde classic, was up next. Iconoclastic and psychologically charged, this modernist French masterpiece explores the roles we perform in life, fantasy and politics and how they intertwine. The season ended with "Vinegar Tom" by Caryl Churchill.

2002-2003 Season
The Theater Program's 2002-03 Season featured two plays directed by faculty directors: "Theatrical Shorts" and Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night". The 2002-03 season was our first year for the new Program in Theater to jointly produce works with theater groups on-campus. These collaborations featured the following:

Theatrical Shorts: Avant-garde shorts by Beckett, Pinter and Strindberg
