The 2020-2021 academic year has proven a challenging one, but students, faculty, and theatre artists in the Department of Theatre & Film Studies rose to the task time and time again throughout the year. They created innovative and thought-provoking work across a wide array of genres. Join us in celebrating their accomplishments with this highlight reel commemorating the 2020-2021 UGA Theatre season.

Join us virtually on Oct. 28 for MFA Actor Robyn Accetta's thesis performance in Samuel Beckett's existential tragicomedy "Happy Days." Persistently optimistic Winnie ponders her life, routines, and relationships day in and day out, taking comfort in what she can while the earth beneath her swallows her slowly over the course of two acts. Equal parts humorous and heartbreaking, Winnie's trudge toward inevitability beautifully displays Beckett's pursuit of humanity's place i...n a vast, indifferent universe. Performances will be pay-what-you-can and run from Oct. 2830! ugatheatre.com/happydays

Pre-order your Broadway on Demand tickets for MFA Actor John Galas' one-man thesis "Circumference of a Squirrel" by John Walch! "Circumference of a Squirrel" is the outlandishly funny tale of one man's "rodentophobia" - a hatred of squirrels passed down to him by his father. The show is available for 3 days only starting October 15! ugatheatre.com/squirrel

Opening Nov. 5, "Breathe" is a multimedia work being developed by alumna Angela Hall under the direction of former faculty member Dr. Freda Scott Giles as a part of University of Georgia's Spotlight on the Arts Festival. Through tweets, news articles, and first-hand accounts, "Breathe" contends with our current American moment focusing on social and political upheaval with an emphasis on action and good trouble. This unique experience will see its development influenced... by both its writer and the cast, responding in real time to the events that surround us daily. Tickets for the live stream of "Breathe" will be available next week at live.ugatheatre.com #spotlightuga #UGA_Arts #theatre

https://youtu.be/O_FdLqUsuDc It’s been over a week since I found out the Into the Woods, my final college show, was cancelled due to the impact of the COVID-19 ...pandemic. My heart is still broken over this news, especially because this show becomes all the more important in times of peril. It’s not the same as a live production, but I hope these words can bring you just a shred of comfort in these confusing times, just as they have been for musical theatre geeks since 1986. Hard to see the light now, Just don’t let it go. Things will come out right now, We can make it so. Someone is on your side, No one is alone. <3
