Jim teaches art to kindergartners by day; by night he spreads his colors throughout the city. Unfortunately, the city views Jim’s art as vandalism; and this time? He’s going to jail.
He’s got two days before remand to say goodbye to the woman he loves, paint with his friends, and make a permanent memory. A Hip Hop drama that questions what art really is.

Don’t call Ms. Holmes “Shirley”. It’s Sherlock and she’s ready to solve a good mystery the old fashioned way. Only problem? She’s got a new roommate who’s not a doctor, gravely unhappy, and completely without purpose.
What’s a girl to do? It’s elementary! Open your eyes, study the situation and solve the problem engaging everyone around you. The result? A delightful and witty romp with a classic duo re-envisioned to study the mysteries of friendship.

One year ago, Alex’s fiancé, Monica, was found dead the day before their wedding. It was the very same night as the Broadway preview of Alex’s newest comic script – starring his beloved. Bereft, Alex retreated from the public eye.
Today, one year after Monica’s death, Alex has re-convened his cast in the very same theatre where they opened last year. Alex wants them to read his new play, Killing Jessica, which describes the death of a woman – very much like Monica’s – and it seems as though the characters are suspiciously similar to the people Alex has gathered for the reading.
Perhaps, the play’s the thing wherein Alex’ll catch the conscience of a killer.

Act on it!

Beloit College Theatre stages four shows in two different theatre spaces every year.
Productions are chosen by a committee of faculty, staff, and students from suggestions garnered from across campus. The committee seeks to offer students performance, production, and viewing opportunities of a combination of classical, devised, contemporary and American classics. Every other year, the department produces a musical or stages a Shakespearean play.
Anyone on campus is encouraged to audition during the first and second week of classes each semester.
If it can be built, we do it!

Production majors, minors, and students with an interest build all the sets and costumes for each of the four plays and Chelonia. Our students often also design the lighting, costumes, and even sets.
