Norwich Theater Group - The Pegasus Players
Everybody Gets Into The Act
Whether you spell it theater or theatre, Pegasus Players at Norwich University has been an integral part of student life on campus for more than a century. Norwich gives students opportunities to study theatre academically and produce live performances.
Pegasus Players, Norwich University’s oldest continuously operating student organization, typically produces two performances a year. The performances rotate every two years between musicals, comedies and serious dramas and classics. The troupe also produces student play festivals, featuring original works written and directed by students, and Norwich Voices for International Women's Day, a spoken-word event about women's issues on campus and around the world.
Students seeking to explore theatre in the classroom will find numerous opportunities at Norwich. We offer courses in dramatic literature, theatre appreciation, acting, directing, technical theatre, Shakespeare, performance studies, and related topics. The theatre program regularly organizes other events, such as Norwich Voices for International Women’s Day, a spoken word performance about women’s issues, and Battle of the Voices, a musical competition concert.

"Heathers" by Pegasus Players Theater Group | Find a Second Family
Reflecting on my ongoing journey with Pegasus Players, I've discovered a profound sense of connection and acceptance that I haven't experienced elsewhere on campus. Within the vibrant community of Pegasus, I found a place where my unique talents and perspectives were not only welcomed but celebrated. It's a space where I feel understood, supported, and valued.
400-seat Mack Hall
The theatre program, housed in the 400-seat Mack Hall auditorium, offers formal theatre courses at least once a year, including classes on acting, technical theatre, introduction to theatre, Shakespeare and interdisciplinary theatre. Every semester, we offer the one-credit Play Production course, which lets students gain course credit while working on theatre productions.
