Upcoming Fall Season 2012

Congratulations to the cast and crews of The House of Blue Leaves and A Little Night Music on two amazing shows. Thank You to everyone from the University staff  like the Center of Student Development, the UMass Arts Council, UMass Catering, Campus Design & Copy, People's Market, to local businesses such as Silverscreen Design, Dinn Trophy and Copy Cat that helped make this past season for the Guild possible. While we hope everyone is having a safe and fun filled summer the Guild is excited for its upcoming Fall season.

Next semester we will be putting on Spring Awakening and Farragut North.
