The announcement took place mid-day at the theater on Monday. The two organizations announced a new five-year partnership under which Quinnipiac’s theater department will stage three or four plays on the Long Wharf stage. The students will work alongside the pros at Long Wharf in the process.

The first production will be a staging of Euripides’ Medea from Feb. 27 to March 2. The crew performed a scene from the play at Monday’s press conference.
