A product of a one night stand, abused in foster home after foster home, and raised sleeping in parks were just a few of the daunting obstacles in Monti’s journey from the streets to the stage.

This is an interactive presentation, designed to help students gain the problem solving skills needed to be successful, both inside and outside of the classroom. Through crowd participation, story telling, and poetry, students will be engaged, encouraged, and empowered to make it from the streets of their minds, to the stage of their dreams.

Join us for the reception of our 2026 Senior Art Show.

This annual event showcases our graduating seniors' talent and creativity, offering a glimpse into their artistic journeys throughout their time here at the University of Puget Sound.

Join us for the reception of the exhibit, "everything left was carried" by Rebecca Padilla, as well as an artist talk.

See the best work from art classes in the last year at the opening night party and awards ceremony (with prizes). The Art Students Annual show is a Puget Sound tradition. Students enter work from art classes, and a juror selects artwork for the show, which will be in Kittredge Gallery for four weeks.

Join us for the reception of Janet Marcavage's newest exhibition, "Subject to Change."

Marcavage, one of the University's Distinguished Professors of Art, investigates the layering of color and the interaction of marks – and the physical, conceptual, and optical aspects of these components in printed impressions. Mutability and impermanence are conveyed through multiplied color blends, shifting marks, and color grids. The experience and actions of being a caregiver influence her work.

Join us for the reception of Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter's art exhibition, "Reparenting the Figure: Temporal paradox, grief and repair".

Open to all students! No experience of preparation necessary. All rehearsals/performances in Fall Semester. Callbacks the following evening.
