The Brandeis Theater Company is the production and performing ensemble comprised of the students, guest artists, faculty and staff of the theater arts department at Brandeis University. Through progressive and challenging programming in a unique and dynamic setting, students and professionals work together to create cutting edge theater promoting multiculturalism alongside of artistic achievement. Under the artistic direction of Eric Hill, our productions continue to offer outstanding performances from both our students and accomplished actors, high quality scenery, costumes and lighting all presented in the intimate theaters of the Spingold Theater Center. At the Brandeis Theater Company, young artists are mentored by professional actors, guest directors, faculty and staff giving them an eclectic survey of the theater industry that will serve them throughout their lives – possibly even as the stars of tomorrow!
