Known affectionately as Madness, our weekly playwrights production class came to the attention of writer Taylor Evans. After attending several of our Friday night shows, she sat down with several current playwrights and the head of our program, Charles Smith, to find out what goes into a Madness, how it began, and why we do it. Read the WOUB article here.

Madness performances are free and open to the public nearly every Friday night at 11:00 p.m. in the Hahne Theater in Kantner Hall. Visit the Madness page on our website for the Winter Quarter schedule.

Taking Madness Beyond the Hahne

First-year MFA Playwright Jacob Juntunen will be in Chicago this weekend for Caffeine Theatre's Aphra Behn Coffeehouse at the Newberry Library where they will feature a revised and expanded version of his short play "Code Name: Astrea" in an afternoon of short plays and other artistic works. The play was developed as part of Ohio Playwriting's weekly Production 650 class, also known as Madness.
