Pacific Students Take to the Stage for Fall Productions

A play about gender shifting spanning centuries, fluid movement from choreographers, and the sounds of jazz, a choir, and “Amazing Grace.”

These are just some of the highlights of Pacific University’s 2019 Fall Theatre, Dance and Concert Season.

Pacific students are rehearsing and putting the finishing touches on performances as they get ready to showcase their talent. Mark your calendars and join us for the Fall Production Season, which features some original works from students, including the conducting debuts of five student conductors.

Theatre and Dance

The theatre program kicks things off Homecoming Weekend with Virginia Wolfe’s Orlando, Oct. 17-20. The novel, about the adventures of a poet who transcends time and gender, is adapted for the stage by contemporary playwright Sarah Ruhl.

Each fall, the dance program features works from an artist in residence, students and faculty. This year’s alumnus is Taylor Baker '17. Move with the dance program as it presents Autumn Choreographers Concert, Nov. 14-16.
