This podcast includes OSU Theatre productions, interviews with performing arts industry professionals, and other content. We can be found on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms.
You can support the work of the University Theatre by purchasing a virtual ticket to Ten Minutes at the Townsend.
While all Dam the Distance content is free to download, if you are able to purchase a "virtual ticket" for our productions you would be supporting the current and future work of the University Theatre. You can name your own ticket price and we appreciate your support during this challenging time.
While the Covid-19 Pandemic makes planning public performances difficult, we remain committed to educating our students and creating quality work to engage our audiences and patrons. The University Theatre is a community of artists striving to understand the human experience through the study and practice of theatre. While our current reality of "social distancing" is a challenge, our core mission has not changed and we are grateful for the continued support of our generous donors and patrons.
