COURTYARD THEATRE

WHO ARE WE?

My junior year of college, I came to my academic advisor with an idea: to create a fully student-led theatre production club at the University of Kansas. KU had a plethora of film clubs, but nothing for us theatre kids - I wanted to change that. So, we brought on some other students and created Courtyard Theatre, named after everyone’s favorite hangout spot in our campus building: the Murphy Courtyard.

Since winter of 2024, Courtyard Theatre (affectionately dubbed CYT by the student body) has taken of like a rocket! We have produced cabarets, staged readings of plays and musicals, workshops for new works, master classes, and more… all run by students.

WHAT I’VE DONE

  • Since we founded, I have run any social media accounts for CYT. Right now, this includes our Instagram, which is our main form of communication with the students. I also created a website where dates, forms, and contact information is hosted.

  • Within our current exec board, I serve as the middleman between our club and the KU student body at large. This includes everyone from individual students to other on-campus clubs. Additionally, I am in charge of promotional ventures within the organization.
