Performances

Welcome to our 2023-24 season! This season’s productions explore the challenge, support, and acceptance needed to find oneself and strengthen our communities. Through joy, drama, fear, and discovery our characters strive to become their better selves. We look forward to seeing you at the theater!

Prices*

  • $12 – General admission
  • $8 – Seniors and CNU faculty/staff
  • Free - CNU students

*Unless otherwise noted.

TheatreCNU selects shows each year that support the academic goals of the Theatre and Dance Program. Every season we present a variety of productions that vary in period, style and content and provide our students with experiences to help them develop as artists and theatremakers.

Some shows may contain a range of content that our patrons may be sensitive to, be it language, subject matter or the types of events portrayed in the production. TheatreCNU invites concerned patrons to learn more about the shows and for viewers to use discretion.

Please click the performance posters below for tickets or call (757) 594-8752 for more information.
