Theatre & Dance Department Season

Muhlenberg Theatre & Dance 2020-21 Performances

Broad-Ranging. Innovative. Boundary-breaking. World-class.

That's the Muhlenberg Theatre & Dance Departmental Season. Dance performances from intimate contemporary solos to grand-scale ballet. Theatre productions from experimental blackbox to Broadway-style musicals — all delivered with the professionalism and vision of a professional repertory company.

Spring 2021 For the spring semester, we're thrilled to return to the stage with a lineup of special productions — two in-person dance concerts and a theatre festival featuring seven unique theatre projects. More details are coming soon!

Fall 2020 To protect the health of our students and community, we made the difficult decision to suspend the Departmental Season for the Fall 2020 semester. In place of our announced lineup, we supported the creative efforts of our talented Theatre & Dance students, who undertook a broad-ranging exploration of the virtual performance space.
