With the goal of cultivating new voices for the stage, the UC Davis Department of Theatre and Dance presents a series of new one-act plays by undergraduate students. Written and Directed By features four short student works mentored under the guidance of Professor Jon D. Rossini and directed by student directors.

“This project gives students a platform to see their rich, multi-faceted storytelling come to life and inspire further steps on their creative journey,” said Rossini.

The Department of Theatre and Dance will present The Drowsy Chaperone, the delightful award-winning musical comedy, in winter 2026. 

The production runs Feb. 26, 27, 28 and March 5 and 6 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 18 and March 7 at 2 p.m. in the Main Theatre, Wright Hall.  

Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age of the Broadway musical.
