DramaTech's 2010 - 2011 Season

DramaTech is pleased to announce its season for 2010-2011.

Black Box Comedy Festival
In its seventh year, the Black Box Comedy Festival highlights the best in improvised comedy and educates the next generation of comedic actors.

VarietyTech/Let’s Try This!
Join DramaTech’s triple threats as they strut their stuff in a company-created show that features music, dance, and theatre. This evening is paired with a performance by Let’s Try This!, Georgia Tech’s only comedy improv troupe.

The Count of Monte Cristo*
Adapted by Charles Morey, from the novel by Alexandre Dumas
Betrayal, obsession, and redemption provide the backdrop for this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel that centers around wrongly imprisoned Edmond Dantes who escapes jail to enact his revenge on those who betrayed him. As he becomes increasingly consumed with his quest for vengeance, he loses his humanity and any hope of reconciling with the love of his life.

"...an impeccably solid piece of theatrical work...the whole thing thrilling from swash to buckle..."
--The Wall Street Journal

Artstic Director's Choice - TBD

Little Shop of Horrors*
Book and Lyrics by Howard Ashman
Music by Alan Menken
A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite!

“Leaves the audience... feeling just like Audrey II between victims - ravenous for more."
--The New York Times

"This horticultural horror will have you screaming with laughter..."
--New York Post

Eurydice*
By Sarah Ruhl
In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.

"EXHILARATING!! A luminous retelling of the Orpheus myth, lush and limpid as a dream where both author and audience swim in the magical, sometimes menacing, and always thrilling flow of the unconscious."
--The New Yorker

who we are

DramaTech is the student run theater at Georgia Tech. Our goal is to further the presence of performing arts on campus, as well as in the surrounding city of Atlanta. We are the oldest continuously running theater in Atlanta—having been around since 1947.

Trying to get to DramaTech? We've got directions available from most parts of the metropolitan Atlanta area.

what we do

As a theater we organize productions for public performance. As students with voracious appetites for knowledge of all kinds we try to learn something in the process. With every show we try to create something that moves, inspires, or at a minimum entertains our audiences. These generally take one of the following forms:

Main Stage Shows

Full length plays generally performed in the Dean James E. Dull Theater in DramaTech's building.

Improv Comedy

At DramaTech we have our own improvisational comedy troupe called Let's Try This! They perform regularly throughout every semester. Some of these shows are in DramaTech's theater, but many take place in various locations all over campus.

Variety Shows

Variety Tech is DramaTech's musical theatre ensemble, performing various song, skit, and dance routines.

Studio Shows

Generally one-act plays, these are student directed shows performed on a shoestring budget with a limited amount of technical assistance.

More information about what DramaTech is, what we do, how to contact us, and generally more about all of the above can be found in the about section of this site.
