DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE
Theatre at UMBC stimulates, challenges, and inspires. Students develop theatre skills under the tutelage of an internationally acclaimed faculty, whose work with students in the classroom and on the stage has resulted in seven appearances at the American College Theatre Festival at Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center. The curriculum focuses on production and a unique exploration of evocative plays, both comedic and dramatic, classic and contemporary. Small class sizes and a dedicated faculty create a community focused on each student’s individual development as a person and as an artist.

Two Gentlemen of Verona
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Eve Muson
When the two gents, Valentine and Proteus, leave Verona to seek their fortunes in Milan, their boyhood friendship turns to rivalry when they both fall in love with the Duke’s daughter, Sylvia--even though she is promised to a rich suitor and Proteus is already engaged to his hometown sweetheart, Julia. Proteus sets out to betray both friend and fiancé, only to find that Julia and Sylvia have a thing or two to teach him about loyalty and love. One quick-witted (and one not-so-quick-witted) servant, some bawdy outlaws, and a faithful canine companion make this one of Shakespeare’s most lighthearted romantic comedies.
