Next Stage Players is the D’Youville Kavinoky’s performance ensemble of graduate acting students. The Players' first production was in 2023 under the name “D’Youville Kavinoky’s Graduate Acting Company”, presenting works such as The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom, and Gruesome Playground Injuries. Next Stage Players productions are led by a professional director and performed by the full cohort of MFA students who have been studying and working at the Kavinoky throughout the year.

This production is your chance to see what’s next for theater—new stories for the stage and old stories told in new ways, new performers that will be your future favorites. Production details to be released in the fall but don’t wait to reserve your seat—the future will be here before you know it!
