Mission Statement
Lovers & Madmen seeks to provide Northwestern and the Evanston community with classical (pre-20th century) or classically inspired theatrical productions, placing special emphasis on the works of William Shakespeare. Lovers & Madmen is committed to the development of educational programming to increase the Northwestern and Evanston communities’ interest in and knowledge of classical literature.
About L&M
L&M is a theatre group, and not just a board; any person who's ever worked on an L&M show in any capacity is considered a Lover or Madman (or both!). Because of this, any Lover or Madman who so wishes is permitted to attend our weekly board meetings (Monday nights, 10:30, Norris). Want a say in StuCo? Work with L&M!
In addition to a stock of standard (4x8) platforms and flats, L&M has a large assortment of costumes and props available for rental. Inquiries regarding set pieces, costumes, and props may be directed to our Inventory Manager, Melanie Vitaterna, at .
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or just want to chat, please drop us an email at ! Additionally, check us out on Facebook!
