The International Theatre Program's 2012 spring production of the award-winning Adding Machine: A Musical.

Rochester students, faculty, and staff are deeply involved in the creation and performance of art. The Eastman School of Music offers ongoing, world-class concerts — many of them free — and the River Campus is home to everything from a cappella singing groups and dance troupes to theater productions, and symphony orchestras.
