Production Archive (past shows)

Our main site has moved back to UAF’s main server, although our production archives and student handbook continue to be available here.

Please visit http://www.uaf.edu/theatrefilm/ for current information.

This is a growing repository of past shows listed in order of dates/year/semester produced. When available, productions will include photographs, reviews, TV news stories and cast/crew details.

We plan to add more shows as time allows; so please check back!
