LCT Productions, formerly known the Little Country Theatre, is a laboratory for learning in which imaginative play and disciplined work are fused in dramatic creations. A high degree of professionalism is consistently displayed. There are two major LCT Productions programs.

• Main Stage Productions—Four plays are produced each school year. These productions range from modern musicals such as The Wild Party and Sweeney Todd to classic comedies such as The Comedy of Errors and Noises Off, including contemporary and ancient plays of the widest variety. Production seasons are chosen according to a four year style-rotation cycle. This ensures that during the course of his or her undergraduate career, the student will have the opportunity to acquire first-hand knowledge of all major performance styles in the Western theatrical tradition.
• (The Newfangled Theatre Company is the student branch of LCT Productions. This student-managed company produces a four show second stage season.

Numerous dramatic activities take place on a flexible schedule in Studio Theatre Productions. There are showcase productions for B.F.A. candidates and for student acting or directing projects as well as a dance recital each semester.
In addition, the department participates regularly in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (ACTF), inviting ACTF respondents to evaluate main stage productions and nominate students to compete for national scholarships.
