Welcome Class of 2030!
Are you an incoming freshman in the Great Class of 2030?
Do you enjoy theater?
Do you want to try something new with a low time commitment?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then get involved in the Freshman Thespian Festival (FTF) by filling out this interest form!
FTF will be a cabaret-style festival including scenes, songs, and one-act plays fully directed, acted, and designed by YOU and your peers in the Great Class of 2030! This festival will be a collaboration between PUP and Theatre Intime, performing on October 9-11, 2026 at Theatre Intime’s Hamilton Murray Theater.
We understand that you will be adjusting to college and we want to highlight that this festival will be very low time commitment with a very flexible schedule providing you the opportunity to explore all that Princeton has to offer while trying theater for the first time, trying on a new hat as a theater maker, and/or being involved in college theater for the first time! Rehearsals will be at most 2-3 hours per week and at most 4 hours per day during tech week. The festival is open to incoming freshmen of all interests and experience levels, especially those interested in trying something new! If you are interested in being involved, please fill out the interest form. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Theatre Intime’s Festival Manager, Nina Obidairo-Danielsen (festivals@theatreintime.org) and PUP’s Vice President, Dante Kanterezhi-Gatto (pupvicepresident@gmail.com).
