Description

Drama was an important element in Jesuit pedagogy, providing a means of reaching beyond the classroom to the larger community. Mention of dramatic performances at Georgetown can be found as early as the 1790s but it was not until the formation of a Shakespearean Club in 1850 that the first organized drama group appeared on campus. The Club was reconstituted in 1853 as the Dramatic Association of Georgetown College.
