Quinnipiac University Theater

The theater program at Quinnipiac is dedicated to developing the next generation of creative thinkers and collaborators. Our focus is on creating new work, and on collaborating with artists who employ new perspectives, techniques and technologies to address familiar challenges. Our production season gives students opportunity to learn important skills with the brightest minds at the vanguard of the industry.

In a world that feels increasingly digitized, polarized and lonely, theater’s ability to foster self-awareness, community and social change makes it a critical tool for safeguarding the health of our collective future. Our mission is to cultivate skilled, flexible and empathetic citizens who leave Quinnipiac unafraid of taking risks and empowered to meet the demands of an evolving world.

“Professor Woland’s Black Magic Rock Show,” a Quinnipiac-born stage adaptation of “The Master and Margarita,” is heading to Washington, D.C. for its showcase at Spooky Action Theater from March 20 to April 14, 2025.

Its origin starts in 2020 when Rosalie Bochansky, technical director of visual and performing arts at Quinnipiac, and her team produced a new musical adaptation of Stephen King’s novel “Rage” with Elizabeth Dinkova, who wrote and directed it.

“We know what a meaningful experience it is for our students to be able to make theater, and as a program, we’re privileged to be able to provide the opportunity to work with visionary artists on projects about which they’re passionate,” said Bochansky. "So it’s really gratifying to know that, in addition to enriching our students’ lives, we’ve been able to make a meaningful contribution to American Theater as a whole.”

“Universities have always been crucibles of experimentation and discovery, and we’re tickled to be able to see one of our creations enter another stage of evolution,” Bochansky said.
