Mission

The mission of the University Theatre is two-fold. One is to provide an opportunity for University of Oregon students to participate in dramatic arts productions. These opportunities serve as a laboratory for Theatre Arts majors to apply what they learn in classes, but participation is not limited to majors only. All University of Oregon students are welcome to take part and may serve a production as actors, directors, designers, choreographers, playwrights, composers, musicians, technicians, dramaturgs, publicists, and arts managers.

The second mission of the University Theatre is to provide an opportunity for University of Oregon students and residents of the community and surrounding area to see live theatrical performances of high caliber at affordable prices. The availability of cultural events such as University Theatre productions is an important resource for the students attending the University.

Venues

Can’t get enough?

The University Theatre is not the only place that you have the opportunity to see the great emerging talent of the Theatre Arts Department. The Pocket Theatre and Summer Theatre provide great additional theatrical productions.

The Pocket Playhouse

The Pocket Playhouse season is organized and administered by an elected board of undergraduate students and is financially supported by the UO student body. Plays, many of them student written, are presented almost weekly throughout the school year. Directors are selected through a lottery and minimal budgets are provided for royalties, sets, costumes, publicity and programs. Click HERE to see what they are currently working on!
