Currently, the School of Theatre venues are permitted to open at approximately half capacity, and everyone ages 2 and above will be wearing face coverings per UNCG policy.
Kicking off the spring slate of productions is Wake Up, Brother Bear! by Janet Stanford and Kathryn Chase Bryer, with music by Katie Chambers, a North Carolina Theatre for Young People production. Very young audiences (2-5 years of age) and their parents can enjoy this charming journey through the seasons with Brother and Sister Bear in Sprinkle Theatre every Saturday in February (5, 12, 19, 26) at 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM. The School of Theatre’s North Carolina Theatre for Young People will bring the magic of live theatre to your school or outdoor location. This production is touring every Tuesday and Thursday, March 1 to April 26, 2022.

Peter and the Starcatcher, a play by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Barker, takes flight in Taylor Theatre February 18–19 and 23-26 at 7:30 PM and February 20 at 2:00 PM. Adapted from the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, this story tells the tale of a certain boy, a certain pirate, and the girl who would set both of them on their course into the Peter Pan stories we know so well.
Sweat by Lynn Nottage plays in Sprinkle Theatre April 1-2 and 6-9 at 7:30 PM and April 3 at 2:00 PM. This searing drama follows factory workers in an industrial Pennsylvania town as union struggles, racial tensions, and economic insecurity all collide.
Finally, The Spongebob Musical will rock Taylor Theatre April 8-9 and 20-23 at 7:30 PM and April 10 at 2:00 PM. The play, conceived by Tina Landau with book by Kyle Jarrow, follows everyone’s favorite sponge as he navigates a looming volcanic eruption that threatens both the physical safety and moral fabric of Bikini Bottom.
