Beyond Mainstage: Student-run theater makes a mark on campus

Anyone who attended a performance of "Tartuffe" in the Winterterm would have seen an extravagant and meticulously rehearsed mainstage. The cost of the costumes alone, designed by Dartmouth's costume shop, could have provided several struggling thespians with nourishment and black turtlenecks throughout 1995. But actors also have incredible resources and opportunities available to them through student-produced theater, if they can brave the bureaucracy to push their productions to fruition.
