THE MASK & BAUBLE DRAMATIC SOCIETY

The Mask & Bauble Dramatic Society, established in 1852, distinguishes itself as the oldest continuously running college theatre group in the United States. Mask & Bauble (M&B) works to produce high quality theatre using a collaborative process. The group produces five shows a year, conducting auditions approximately six weeks before each performance. The season traditionally includes musicals, dramas, comedies, and classics. In the spring, Mask & Bauble also produces the annual Donn B. Murphy One-Act Play Competition and Festival, in which student-written plays are submitted, judged, and produced.  View the 2020-21 season or visit the M&B website.

THE BLACK THEATRE ENSEMBLE

Established in 1979, The Black Theatre Ensemble (BTE) is dedicated to producing dramatic works that celebrate and enrich the Black American cultural heritage, and expand and challenge the discourse on the Black experience. In addition to fully staged productions, BTE organizes several “coffeehouses” throughout the year. These provide a forum for students to express self and share perspective through song, dance, and poetry.  View the 2019-20 season or visit the BTE website.
