Theater and Dance Past Productions

Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. It is a world where one knows not the power she possesses because it is against one’s time, a world that fights for the allowance of female ambition and deep kinship of sisterhood through pain and sacrifice.

A collection of innovative dance works, featuring choreography by students, faculty, and a guest artist. Performed by Colgate students.

Far Away written by Caryl Churchill depicts human survival in a dystopian world. Four characters and a large ensemble face the reality of what was feared the most, at the time. 

In Colgate’s pared-down version of The Seagull, Chekhov's first great play reveals the full force of its comedy and cruelty — whether it’s love, sex, incredible fame, or simply a trip into town, each character is denied the thing they most crave.

This new play before us erupts out of Shakespeare’s tumultuous, violent love story and brings forth a world with the logic and physics of the dream. A dream where the familiar blows into the absurd and the nightmare, for all too understood reasons, is reality.

ARCH: A Dance Concert showcased original works by contemporary dance students at Colgate.

The tale of several socially awkward young people finding joy, heartache and a purpose in competing at the regional spelling bee.

Regular citizens seduced by the power of brute force, pressured by the energy of the crowds and swept away by the frenzy of mindlessness gradually give in to Rhinoceritis, the strange epidemic that turns man into beast.

Erin Courtney’s A Map of Virtue is a changeling: a play, a poem, a bird song, a moment of exchange, intimacy, terror, love and longing.
