Two hobbits, a few mustaches, and a gratuitous number of pictures later, we knew who was on first (last): our 2026 spring showcase! (Better known as the first-ever Powder and Wig not-just-Monologues Night.)
Thank you to everyone for their hard work and talent this year, truly it hath shone thru.
A special thank you to Mary Low for hosting us this time around and lots of love for our lovely audience.
Good luck on your finals, everyone! We will see you in the next post (or in the fall (or to our beautiful seniors, congrats grads—we hope you won’t be a stranger because you’ll always be a wiggle 🤍)).

Thank you to everyone who braved the cold last week to see our One-Act comebacks!! And what a comeback it was, with huge shoutouts to our writer-directors Emerson Riter and Alice Zimmer, along with our casts of Helicon and Incidental Evils, our lovely tech crew, and a special thank you to everyone at Gordon and facilities who helped make a space for it all to be possible. Enjoy the rest of your JanPlan break, Mules! We can’t wait to share what’s in store for you all in the spring soon. 👀⛪️😈
