About The Performance

In 1894, The Varsity Show began as a fundraiser for Columbia’s athletic teams. Over the years, it has evolved into an independent performing arts tradition that satirizes life at Columbia through its takes on politics, student groups, administrators, and other aspects of campus life. 

Life in the 129th Varsity Show’s Columbia is pretty good, unless you’re a student of course. You’re failing Thaddeus’ Calc I class, the presidents are ghosting you, and JJ’s just ran out of Dino nuggets. But maybe things could get brighter? Come see for yourself in this year’s take on the university’s oldest performing arts tradition!
