Welcome to the
School of Theatre
The 2025-26 Season opens with Maggie Smith's new comedy, The Courtship of Winifred Edwards. Set in 1890s America, Winifred leaves her handkerchief at a dinner party and Anthony
is convinced it was a deliberate gesture to capture his attention. He enlists his
quick-witted cousin, Georgia, to unravel Winifred's true feelings. But things are
not like they seem. This leads to a hilarious exploration of love, societal expectations,
and a woman's independence. October 2-12.

professional and academic careers in arts and cultural industries. Providing an inclusive

topical issues, celebrating shared social values, and exploring humanity. We work
to honor the experiences, perspectives and unique identities of all our students,
