Theatre Returns to John Jay With Greek Tragedy ‘Iphigenia’

JOHN JAY COLLEGE–John Jay College’s Theatre Arts Program has not staged a production since 2022. The Theatre Arts Program previously offered one play in the fall and another in the spring, once a storied tradition on campus.

However, between the 2020 pandemic and the Theatre Arts Program’s uncertain future on campus, performances have been intermittent for the better part of five years.

The closing of the Communications and Theatre Arts Department in August 2023 transferred the courses and minors to the English department, an administrative compromise.

Despite the uncertain future of stage productions, student actors will perform Iphigenia on stage in The Gerald W. Lynch Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m.
