UTAS

  The Undergraduate Theatre Artists Society

"To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart; To make mankind, in conscious virtue bold, Live o'er each scene, and be what they behold-- For this the tragic Muse first trod the stage."

About UTAS

What we do for you

  • Undergraduate Community Mtg.s - your chance to come together and share thoughts/concerns & gain valuable info.  Held monthly, focusing on a specific issue for discussion. 

  • Play Reading series - Check back soon for details on the Fall series.  Contact Genna Davidson for further info.

  • Workshop series - sponsored workshops by guest-artists in all fields - generally 3-4 per semester, free to Department students. 

  • The Night of Love & Sex - our end-of-semester Cabaret/Date Auction bash!

  • Maryland Original Works Festival (MOWF) - a yearly collaboration between students in the Departments of Theatre & Dance, and the School of Music, presenting new student works - coming in the Spring.

  • The Theatre Department Spring Banquet - our annual end-of-year bash with dinner, dancing, awards, and performances.

  • Community Outreach
    • In September, UTAS teamed up with UMD's a capella groups to raise more than $1700 in a single concert to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and on Dec. 2 (the day after World AIDS Day), we helped Undergraduate Malinda Ellerman raise funds for her AIDS Marathon by presenting her in a Cabaret.  We hope to continue to support causes such as this as the year continues. 
    • We are also laying the foundation for our high school outreach program.
