A collaboration between the Department of Theatre and the Resident Ensemble Players (REP), the festival was designed to celebrate student artists from all academic disciplines. Nearly three-quarters of the participants had majors not generally associated with the arts, such as economics, chemical engineering and biological sciences. “Most of us are raised doing some kind of art as kids,” said Steve Tague, theatre department chair and REP artistic director.
