Theater StudiesWelcome to our 2021-2022 Theater Studies season!
Every year, Duke Theater Studies produces two Mainstage shows and several other productions. All are directed by faculty members or visiting artists who train and collaborate with the student actors. Faculty focusing on design and theater technology supervise students working in those areas. Performance times will be updated as they are finalized.
