The lineup for the Burr and Burton 2024-25 Performing Arts season has been released, and it’s going to be extraordinary!
The fall play, Radium Girls, is a dynamic, high-energy performance. Often hailed “powerful” and “engrossing” drama by critics, Skidmore Theater calls Radium Girls “a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.” Radium Girls will run November 6th through 9th at the Riley Center for the Arts.
In the spring, BBA cast, crew, and musicians will take on the Tony Award winning musical Urinetown, the 2001 satire that explores greed, love, revolution, and musicals, and pokes fun at capitalism, socialism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, and small-town politics. Urinetown, The Musical will run March 18th through 22nd at the Riley Center for the Arts.
For students in curricular arts classes, the first semester capstone, the Winter Showcase, will be on December 12th and the second semester capstone, the Spring Showcase, will be on May 29th.
Additionally, student writers, directors, actors, dancers and crew will produce the New Works Project on January 24th and the One-Act Festival on May 15th.
All students who are interested in participating in or learning more about the Burr and Burton 2024-25 Performing Arts season should plan to attend the Co-Curricular Meeting* on August 21st at 3PM for the Riley Center for the Arts.
*Please note that this meeting is mandatory for all students interested in auditioning for or working on the fall play.
