We are accepting online auditions for our 2026-27 season now through August 24th. Our Fall 2026 production is a world premiere of Deaf playwright Garrett Zeurcher's ALCESTIS 2020, and our Spring 2027 production is the first full ASL staging of Shakespeare's timelessly relevant HENRY IV. If you are at (or around) Gallaudet this coming year, you can audition for either, or both--up to you!

Info in the images below, or at the link.

Tomorrow is the Gallaudet University Class of 2026 graduation! 🎓 As commencement approaches once again, we also want to pause and celebrate our Class of 2025 theatre and dance graduates by finally sharing their graduation acknowledgment video. Though this post arrives later than we hoped, our appreciation for these students and their impact on our program has never faded. Their creativity, resilience, artistry, and presence helped shape our community in meaningful ways, and they deserve to be recognized and celebrated. ❤️✨

As always, congratulations from the entire Gallaudet University Performing Arts family! 🎭👏
