Boston University Stage Troupe - The Season

The Season

Mainstage Show: Stage Troupe produces four mainstage shows each semester, including the Parents’ Weekend Show in the fall and the Charity show in the spring. The shows are pitched and selected by the membership with the exception of Parents’ Weekend Show, which is selected by the Dean of Students.

Parents’ Weekend Show: Stage Troupe partners with the Dean of Students to produce the weekend’s primary entertainment event. Typically, the show is a musical and it is performed in the state-of-the-art Tsai Performance Center.

Charity Show: This show is Stage Troupe’s community outreach project. The funds raised from this production benefit a local or national charity of the director’s choice. Summer Show: A unique experience for students spending the summer in Boston, the summer show runs weekly during Orientation sessions and introduces students to Stage Troupe as well as extracurricular activities in general at BU.

Combat Theatre: Combat is one of Stage Troupe’s signature special projects. Within a span of 24 hours, a few short plays are written, rehearsed, and teched. They are then performed in front of an audience.

One Act Festival: Stage Troupe’s biannual One Acts Festival.

Tech Show: Originally made up of a few shorter one-acts, the show has evolved into a larger spectacle, with the past few years seeing adaptations of the films Clue, The Birdcage, Clueless, and Mean Girls come to life on stage.
