The Undergraduate New Play Festival has one simple goal this year: to find the unfamiliar in the familiar. We provide a venue for developing theatre artists to explore new areas and delve deeper into the familiar ones. The end result is richly textured, highly physicalized theatre that shows the infinite number of contradictions and similarities contained in each human. Social Suicide is a site-specific work on the south-facing balcony on Galbraith Hall. Please note that strong language is used in the production.
