About Theatre Fairfield
Theatre Fairfield is the production wing of the University’s theatre program.

In any given 4-year period, we produce plays from many historical periods and styles:

- Comedies
- Serious dramas
- Period plays
- Contemporary works
- Original plays
A group of scholarship students works closely with faculty and staff in administering Theatre Fairfield’s season. Participation in Theatre Fairfield productions is open to all students at the University, regardless of major or minor. Theatre Fairfield welcomes students of all disciplines to explore the vast connections that exist between theatre and other fields of study.
