About LIVE ACTS FESTIVAL

The culmination of creative research over two semesters, the Live Acts Festival 2026 is a presentation of BFA capstone projects created by SCA Theatre & Performance and Dance Majors with support from students in Production and Design. Over two weeks, 30 artists present solo or group works in a series of double or triple bill programs, across three unique stage configurations – Proscenium, Alley, and in the Round – all presented in the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre.

Please note that all of the works are currently in process, and subject to change in content, title, and duration. Kindly visit our website for up-to-date information. Live Acts Festival
