<p>"ENGLISH DEPARTMENT DRAMA PRODUCTIONS</p>

<p>MAJOR PRODUCTIONS</p>

<p>The Department stages one Fall production and one Winter production. Students may have the guidance of semi- or professional directors, designers, and technical support according to the demands of the play, timelines, production and workload and areas of expertise of current Drama faculty and staff. Students enrolled in Scenery or Costuming courses have the opportunity to acquire intensive experience in practical pre-production work and crew work during performances for course credit. Performers are cast from Drama and Theatre majors interested in acting and others who are eligible to audition including McGill students from other Faculties, alumnae and McGill faculty and staff members. Usually the actors selected for the major productions have had a substantial range of performance activity at McGill or elsewhere; however, all students enrolled in Drama and Theatre courses are encouraged to audition. Acting in a major production is a non-credit activity.</p>

<p>TUESDAY NIGHT CAFE THEATRE</p>

<p>The English Department Drama and Theatre Program sponsors a student-run theatre called Tuesday Night Cafe. Small scale performances, including drama, comedy, dance, and music, are held throughout the year in the Morrice Hall Theatre.</p>

<p>Tuesday Night Cafe is a learning experience for everyone. It is designed to provide an avenue of expression for students and faculty alike and offers an opportunity to gain production experience, to explore new dimensions in playwriting, acting, and directing without the pressures and complexities associated with the scale of a major production in Moyse Hall.</p>

<p>For further information about Tuesday Night Cafe, its operation and student participation, you are invited to make contact with the T.N.C. executive at 398-6600."</p>
