Fall 2017 shows are closed!



Enormous thank you to everyone who worked so tirelessly on A Midsummer Night's Dream and Electricidad. This was a semester of firsts at City College: the first Chicano play and the first Shakespeare play in 17 years. You all have a lot to be proud of.

Special thanks to Duane Gardella, Rob Norberg, Elisa Benzoni, Bob Kostlan, and Andrea Singer for their design work. We're lucky to have you at City.

Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming events in the Drama Program!

You guys, you don't want to miss this.

Don't delay. Get your tickets on Eventbrite or at the door (cash only). Or sign up to usher, right outside of C 105 (interior door).
