Studio Series

What is the Studio Series?

Launching in Fall 2025, the new Studio Series is a season of raw, unfiltered, underground, experimental, radically resourceful, stripped down/high impact productions from the University of Utah Department of Theatre. All tickets are sold under a "pay-what-you-can" model, and all profits will be used to fund future Studio Series projects.

Hear Us Roar

Written by Rachel Bublitz

At their first practice, Hawthorne University's club water polo team receives earth shattering news: this is their last season because next year they will become an official NCAA team. Elation doesn't even cover it. This means funding, this means support; transportation and team suits are just the tip of the iceberg! But, it also means growing pains. Not all the players from the club will be asked to stay on, and the best will get offers from other colleges. Can the Lions come together and play as a team, or will all the uncertainty surrounding their future drive an insurmountable divide among the players? Set in the late 90's, when women's water polo saw a nationwide explosion after it was announced it would be included in the Olympics for the first time in history. This play is a love letter to the game, and the players who put all their heart, soul, grit, and moxie into it. GO LIONS!
