Quimby Theater
The 500 seat John Quimby Theater is the venue for student and professional theatrical productions, concerts, dance presentations, poetry readings, guest lectures and other featured events.
Dedicated in 1969 in memory of John C. Quimby, who was Chairman of the Board of Directors of SUNY Ulster at the time of his death, the theater was renovated in 2006 with new seats, lights, curtains and carpets. The Quimby stage has been named in honor of former faculty member Jack Lawson, who in 1972 established Ulster County Community College’s theater program.

Mother Courage & Her Children

SUNY Ulster Mother Courage & Her Children Written by: Bertolt Brecht Directed by: Sophia Skiles Performed by: SUNY Ulster Students OPENING NIGHT Thursday, April 16, 2015 Suggested donation is $10 at the door. What’s wartime to a woman who has a family to feed and a business to run? Even on the battlefield, there’s a deal to be made. Brecht’s 1939 play Mother Courage and Her Children gives us a scheming, swaggering, seemingly indomitable survivor of a woman who ekes out a living in the shady corners of the war’s marketplace. Is she making the best out of the war’s desperate times or do the desperate times of the war make a casualty of the best in us? For information, contact Stephen Balantzian |
