Join the 2022 senior theatre majors as they present their Ensemble Experiment Between Us.
The worlds ending. War, famine, and death ravage the world. Suffering is everywhere. But this story is not about that. Instead, we follow four, college students as they return to in-person class and are tasked with co-creating a play. Together they grapple with learning how to carry on even when everything is falling apart.
Free Tickets are available for reservation via the Watson Box Office.

The X Series (xperimental/xperiential/xpression) celebrates Wheaton’s creativity in a multidisciplinary virtual event composed of ‘acts’ created by our community. Spanning dance, song, and film to visual art and theatrical performance, each project responds to the prompt: 2020 and Beyond: Our Reflections. Our Responses. Over the course of this two-night live premiere, we gather to share our creative processes and to present the culmination of that work. Via Zoom, registration required.
