Two absurdist comedies Oct. 2 through Oct. 5
September 25th, 2024
Two absurdist comedies by Arthur Kopit will be performed by second-year Professional Theatre students Wednesday, Oct. 2 to Saturday, Oct. 5. Set in a 1930s mental institute, the women in Chamber Music devise a plan to thwart an attack from the men’s ward. Believing they are famous women from history, the characters raise questions about identity and self-perception in this dark comedy.
In The Day the Whores Came Out to Play Tennis, wealthy, influential men gather to socialize at their country club. When a group of women break into the club and take over the tennis court, chaos ensues, and the status quo is challenged. Directed by Matt Holland and performed by the second-year students of the Professional Theatre Program at Dawson College.

Record number of new students attended Welcome Days
August 29th, 2024
Welcome Days occurred on August 19 and 20, 2024 with a record attendance of 2,675 students! This is an increase of 279 students over last year.
Excited students attended presentations, explored the college, and learned about opportunities to get involved in Campus Life. They also took pictures with Blue, our celebrity volunteer, who was hard at work (see here)!
One of the highlights of this year was handing out agendas to the students. This project stemmed from a months-long collaboration between Student Services and the Dawson Student Union to offer this in-demand item.
Welcome Days is a team effort meaning that it can’t be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers. I’d like to thank everyone that helped make these two days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the rooms, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!
