Latenite Theatre

Latenite happens. No matter what, Latenite always happens.

Simply put, Latenite Theatre is a Columbia University performing arts group that produces an anthology of short student-written plays every semester, with a reputation for general chaos and irreverence. In the past few years we've grown immensely and our performances always prove to be a ton of fun for everyone involved, both audience and actors.

But, if you're interested in the more detail history, Latenite Theatre was created in 1995 by a group of Theatre and English majors who wanted to produce their own original works. They offered their innovative theatrical fare after other events on campus were over; hence the name LateNite Theatre. Fifteen years later, LateNite continues to evolve while maintaining its commitment to the student playwright. We have a simple purpose: to offer our playwrights the opportunity to see their work on stage, giving them freedom to experiment, to take artistic risks, and above all, to have fun in a non-competitive artistic environment.

In recent years, there has been significant crossover between Latenite and KCST. This is mostly do to the Cassanova-esque behavior of Jacob Rice and Zack Sheppard. But not Mke Kennelly. He just incites race riots at 999.

Jessie Cohen is also on the Latenite Board. This is because she's adorable and they wouldn't let us continue to exist as a Barnard club without a Barnard chick.

While the title of this article may have you believe otherwise, no self respecting theatre geek would ever spell it theater. This page was obviously auto-created because it was mentioned in the Upchuck Surf Stain wikiCU article.
