FRESHMAN/SOPHOMORE PLAY CONTEST 2026
The 2026 Freshman/Sophomore Play Contest, held Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m., is a low-stress, well-organized evening of student theatre that pairs junior and senior directors with freshman and sophomore actors in a friendly, public competition.
Up to six directing teams will present short plays (5–10 minutes) focused on strong acting, clear characterization, and thoughtful directing rather than elaborate sets or costumes.
A panel of theatrical experts will adjudicate performances, with awards recognizing acting excellence, directing, and a special Crowd Favorite chosen by the audience.
