Columbia Stages encompasses School of the Arts Theatre Program productions. Each season, ambitious new work and innovative reinterpretations of classic texts involving students and faculty from every concentration are presented; recent productions include Baal (Brecht), The Canterbury Tales (Chaucer, adapted by Ken Kaissar), Medea (Euripides), Big Love (Charles Mee) and The Woman (Edward Bond). Columbia Stages also produces the annual New Voices, New Play Festival, a showcase of work by graduating playwrights. The most recent actors’ showcases, where graduating actors are introduced to agents and casting directors, were held at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York City and the Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles.
