Beloit College, 1926. Adored Classics professor Teddy Wright is found naked and barely alive under a window in a North Hall classroom. The coroner claimed he died of natural causes; President Mauer wondered if his death was more nefarious. Beloit College 2024. Nine Beloit College students come together in a Documentary Theatre class to examine the case. After studying the evidence and collaborating with 20 musicians, they stage hunches and ghost stories. They end up unearthing the soul of their college, realizing they – themselves– are part of a unique legacy. A haunting story that asks what being alive actually means.
Enjoy Chelonia 2026, an evening of concert dance spanning the genres. This year’s performance will include work by visiting professor, Adanya Gilmore and the work of the Victor E. Ferrall, Jr. Artist-in-Residence, Gabriel Gonzalez. We will also feature innovative new work created for our student dancers by our dance faculty and the finest of our student choreography. Please join us for an evening not to be missed!
The Curate Shakespeare – April 16-18, & 23-25, 2026
by Don Nigro
Studio One, Hendricks Center for the Arts
What happens when a roving band of rag-tag actors take on the Bard’s As You Like It? A little catastrophe. A little despair. And, a LOT of laughter. You’ll be rolling in the aisles as the Curate’s company makes rubble of one of Shakespeare’s cornerstones. Regardless whether you love or hate the works of Shakespeare, you will fall in love with these hapless actors who somehow discover the spontaneous magic of theatre. This time, Rosalind’s romantic tale is a riotous romp through the Forest of Arden.
