The Shiva Theater requires events and shows performing in the space to submit set and light plots, as well as fill out some necessary forms. These documents can be found on the Documents and Forms page. Since, however, we have been experiencing some difficulties with the links we have included below some of most vital paperwork and information packages. Please contact us at shiva@vassar.edu with any questions.
Constellations is in the Shiva this week. Their set is a dreamy, mystical night sky from some magical other world. The show is sure to be breathtaking. Be sure to see it!
Tonight, Merely Players put up Christopher Marlowe’s Faustus, directed by the amazing Patrick Higgins. It promises to be a night of devil-daring delight!
Here is the schedule for the full length shows of Spring 2017! We had a wonderful sequence of specials events and concerts; congratulations on fantastic shows and performances to everyone who worked in the Shiva over the past 6 weeks! Open weekend applications for Fall 2017 will be available shortly. Just a reminder that all shows in the Shiva are free and open to the public. Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations or information about accessibility should call Campus Activities 845-437-5370.
This weekend in the Shiva! Will there be tension? Will there be romance? Will there be Christmas lights? Is Nic Penn in the show? Go see it and find out!
