Sock & Buskin Sock & Buskin (S&B) is the board that selects and produces the mainstage theatre season for the Brown University Theatre. It is a partnership between undergraduate students, faculty, and staff.

Then...

Founded in 1901 by Thomas Crosby, a professor in the Brown University Department of English, Sock & Buskin has maintained an unbroken string of performance seasons since being established.

Originally founded as an all-male organization, Sock & Buskin became a co-educational group in 1927 when it merged with an all-female theatre troupe from nearby Pembroke College.

Now...

Sock & Buskin is comprised of 13 students and a number of faculty and staff members. The student board meets twice a week during the academic year. In addition to conducting production business, the board discusses 1-3 plays or projects each week for consideration in the following year’s season.

Discussions are open to the public. Discussion notes for each play, as well as a meeting and reading schedule (and lots more information) can be found at sockandbuskin.org.
