WEBER STATE THEATRE PROGRAM Play Production—Play production at Weber State College is under the administrative guidance of the School of Arts, Letters and Sciences and is sponsored directly by the Department of Theatre Arts. Theatre Season—A season of plays is presented each year which includes offerings in both proscenium and flexible production. Plays in the proscenium theatre combine the acting talents and services of both college and community people. Those in the Cellar Theatre are the result of student workshop activity and are largely devoted to educational and experimental works not available in commercial theatre. Six plays are offered each year: one each quarter in the proscenium theatre and one each quarter in the Cellar Theatre. Other plays, prepared as an outgrowth of work in directing classes are also presented to invited audiences. In addition to class assignments, students are encouraged to prepare student-directed plays to encourage participation and development of potential actors and directors. Outstanding student-directed plays are presented in the Winter and Spring. The Weber State College Theatre summer program has recently been expanded to include offerings in the Fine Arts Theatre, in addition to a play for children, produced in collaboration with the Ogden City and Weber County Recreation Departments, presented in parks throughout the city and county. Special activities are often included in the program such as plays prepared for tour during the spring for presentation to school audiences in the Ogden and immediate area, and plays prepared for presentation throughout the state and beyond.
