George Fox University Theatre

George Fox University Theatre is a community of servant storytellers committed to love, inspire and challenge our community through the power of stories.

The University Theatre and the Department of Performing Arts present three main stage productions each year. Works range from classical theatre to contemporary scripts and usually include a musical each season. In addition to main stage productions, there are student-directed works, and performances by the University Players, George Fox's touring theatre troupe. University Players tours throughout

the Northwest presenting at churches, prisons, camps, retreats, and marketplaces. The University Theatre often brings professional guest artists to campus to work with students as directors, designers, and mentors. Auditions and production positions for all theatre activities are open to the entire student population.

Our Fall drama, Havurah by Margot Connolly, opened yesterday! Commissioned in partnership with the Big Bridge Theatre Consortium and the Jewish Plays Project, this world premier tells a story of community, faith and resilience.

At Crosby College, a small liberal arts university, two student clubs strive for connection and comfort in difficult times. When a tragedy occurs in the local Jewish community, members of the Havurah club are left reeling. The Christian social justice club wants to help, but struggles to know how. Deeply relevant, strikingly realistic, Havurah depicts the complexities and possibilities of connecting with others in times of grief.

This weekend, the playwright Margot Connolloy is in town, so we particularly recommend coming to the show this Saturday night October 25th and staying after for a talk back after the show with the playwright!

From a clockmaker's shop in the Dutch town of Haarlem to Ravensbruck concentration camp, "The Hiding Place" is a journey of love, hope, faith, and the power of forgiveness.

"The Hiding Place" is a historical drama and journey of faith that takes place during World War II, with Act 2 set in a N**i concentration camp. It includes intense themes such as capture, imprisonment, antisemitism, and violence. If you would like more information, please contact the box office.
