All organizations are open to audition by both majors and non-majors.

Theater

Main Stage
The Theater Program produces two mainstage shows a year.

Clark University Players Society
The Clark University Players Society (CUPS), a student-run theater organization, hold a membership meeting in both the Fall and Spring semesters. CUPS produces a number of workshop productions and readings during the year. It's a great opportunity for actors, writers, and designers to get involved.

Peapod Squad
The Pea Pod Squad is Clark's award-winning improv comedy troupe. Pea Pod Squad is coming off a victory in the 2006 Bean Pot Improv tournament held annually at Harvard University. The Pea Pod Squad holds five performances on campus annually. For more information, email Professor Gino DiIorio.

Musical Theater Union
The Union is devoted to providing students, faculty, and the community with an opportunity to perform in and enjoy a unique and significant art form.

Tuesday Night Workshop
At least once a month, actors and playwrights meet at the the Tuesday Night Workshop to hear scenes from new works read aloud in the Little Center theater. There are often poems and essays read as well. It’s a great opportunity to find out what’s being developed and to meet other artists on campus.

The Dance Society gives male and female students the opportunity to become involved in dance, to choreograph and to perform in the annual fall and spring productions. Watch a YouTube video.
