Dinner & A Show – Theater: Rhinoceros

Ursinus College Theater and Dance department presents Rhinoceros

The Ursinus College Theater and Dance Department has again teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corp. (CEDC) to offer the second “Dinner & a Show” promotion of the 2026 Fall season, “Rhinoceros.”

Where & When

  • Where: Lenfest Theater, Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center (map it)
  • When: Thursday, Oct. 29, Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31 at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 p.m. with an ASL interpreted performance.

The sublime is confused with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, a staple of 20th -century drama. A small town is besieged when its human citizens inexplicably begin turning into rhinoceroses, one after the other, after the other, after the other. Berenger, an indisputably unimpressive citizen of the town, must decide if he will give in to transformation or commit to his own humanity.

By Eugene Ionesco, translated by Derek Prouse
