Student drama clubs collection

The Drama Guild of RIT was officially formed in January 1965 at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). A group of students had put on a play, See How They Run during the school's 1964 homecoming; this served as the basis for the organization. In the spring of 1965, the club performed a series of one act productions including Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden by Thornton Wilder and The Sandbox by Edward Albee. The following year, the organization began touring with several productions, traveling to local coffee houses, retirement homes, and hospitals, and participating in the Theatre Festival Association's annual competition in Corning, NY. In 1969, the club was absorbed by the Cultural Affairs Committee of the College Union Board.

Brick City Players was a student drama club at RIT, active in the 1970s. Presentations performed by the Players include a production of Dracula (1972?), Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap (1974) and Fashion Del Arte (1977). Fashion Del Arte was billed as "an evening of theater in fashion - models arranged in mannequin-like mannerisms come to life andmove in dance-like form to display the fashions of today and yesterday." Previously, in 1965, Drama Guild was formed at RIT, and was active until 1969. It is unclear if Brick City Players replaced the Drama Guild, or when the Players itself disbanded.

Founded in 1995, the RIT Players is a student-run theater group, producing different kinds of shows each school year. Their productions have included 24 Hour Shows and Fringe Fest performances.
