Welcome to the creative website of UIndy Theatre. Theatre at the University of Indianapolis is part of the Department of Communication within the Shaheen College of Arts & Sciences. Theatre is located in Esch Hall, which houses the academic classrooms, the Costume Shop, faculty/staff offices, as well as the Ransburg Auditorium and the Studio Theatre. A quick walk around campus houses our Scene and Prop Shop.

UIndy Theatre stages two shows per year, for which students gain academic credit, as well as an Artists’ Showcase, which displays university talent as well as scenes developed from our acting and directing classes. One additional show every year is staged by our resident student company, UTC (UIndy Theatre Co). This show features a professional staging in town for which the acting and design team gets to claim professional credit.

UINDY at INDY FRINGE

UIndy Theatre Represented at Indy Fringe Festival this August

UIndy Theatre Co., a student-run professional organization operating out of UIndy Theatre cast, rehearsed, directed, and staged All in the Timing by playwright David Ives. Taking on five classic pieces, such as Sure Thing and Words, Words, Words, from All in the Timing, senior theatre student Dee Woods directed four actors doubling into the parts and assisted by two stage managers. Two of the ensemble, Abigail Wittenmyer and Denisse Bravo-Perez, were recent UIndy graduates.

The cast performed five times to crowded houses, over a two week period on the Cabaret stage in the District Theatre. The ensemble will bring the performance back to UIndy in September and use it to open our 2024-25 season.
