Current Season
Once Upon a Time....
Fairytales have been passed down by countless generations as agents of fantastical adventures, as wells for the imagination, and as cautionary tales for curious young minds. Most of us journey toward adulthood in fits and starts, sometimes blazing toward a star, sometimes stumbling in the dark. Ultimately, many of the tales — and dreams — of our youth lose their magic as we come of age. After all, “adulting” is hard, and innocent illusions are easily shattered along the rocky path of enlightenment. Still, if we can find the grit to persevere, and the grace to accept ourselves and others with all of our messy and glorious humanity, we can reach unimagined destinations! Our 2021-22 season of theatre and dance explores our collective journey and the untapped potential within each of us. Sometimes it helps to remember the fairytale…to seek hope…and to look for glimmers in the dark.
COVID-19 Protocols
We are strongly committed to presenting a season LIVE and IN PERSON again while maintaining a safe environment for our audiences, performers, and crews. As such, the following protocols will be in place:
- Audience members must be masked while inside the theatre building, per University policy and CDC guidelines.
- We will operate with limited audience capacity and encourage social distancing.
- Our actors will perform unmasked and will participate in Covid testing procedures similar to those at other professional theatres around the country.
Auburn University Theatre and Dance intends to present our season live and in person, observing health and safety policies of Auburn University and CDC guidelines at the time of production. These policies are subject to change and will be posted here and at the production venue.
