Student-Run Organizations

Step into a new role

Creativity is never in short supply with many opportunities to express your artistic side. Our theater student groups provide an excellent platform for creative exploration and growth. They encourage students to dive deep into their passions while honing their performance skills. Whether you're a seasoned actor or just beginning, there's always a space to shine.

Fourth Wall Theater

Fourth Wall Theater is a very close-knit community who welcomes and encourages other students to get involved in a variety productions and events.

As Quinnipiac's only student-run theater organization, students manage all aspects of he production, from the executive board to the cast to the director to the entire production team, which includes lighting, sound, stage management, props, set design and costumes. Through many hours of rehearsals and rewarding performances, students create lasting friendships while having the time of their lives.

The organization gives students who are already passionate about theater a place to train, grow and thrive while also allowing students who are new to the community a place to learn. All are welcome to join, regardless of experience.

With a wide variety of shows already produced, the Fourth Wall always strives to put a new and unique twist to even the most well-known stories. Fourth Wall also oversees Comic Sans, Quinnipiac's only improv troupe.

Past Fourth Wall Productions

‘Alice in Wonderland’

‘Alice in Wonderland,’ Fourth Wall's fall production of 2022, was the largest cast with 17 actors! The creative takes the designers had on this piece allowed for the zany antics of Wonderland to only be elevated.

‘Little Women’

‘Little Women,’ Fourth Wall's spring production of 2022, was the organization's first sold-out show since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The story centers around female friendship, family, death, sickness, healing and hope.

‘Proof’

‘Proof’, Fourth Wall's fall production of 2021, centered around a conversation about mental health. The main character of the story deals with heavy issues such as familial trouble, mental illness, grief, and death.

Comic Sans Improv Troupe

Get ready to laugh

Comic Sans is Quinnipiac's improv troupe comprised of 11 members, all of whom are students. We perform Harlons, a long-form improv set of three different scenes that each surround a 'game' that repeats and escalates, creating more and more laughs. Auditions are hosted at the beginning of each school year.

In addition to performances throughout each semester, Comic Sans hosts bi-weekly Wednesday workshops where student leaders teach anyone and everyone improv basics. Everyone is always welcome!
