About Us
Our Building
Our Theater Arts Center was built by Quinnipiac University in 2017. It hosts the theater, music, and other various arts programs. Fourth Wall uses this building for rehearsals, shows and events. This facility features a black box theater, a costume shop, a design studio, a scene shop, a lighting and management booth, and academic spaces.
Our Family
We are a very close-knit community who welcomes and encourages other students to get involved in our productions and events. Through many hours of rehearsals and rewarding performances, students create lasting friendships while having the time of their lives.
Our Theater
We pride ourselves on producing shows and sharing our work with the student body and community. All shows produced by Fourth Wall are completely student-run. Students act, direct, stage manage, light design, set design, sound design, and advertise/promote all of our shows.

"My favorite 4th Wall memory is creating our little family here on campus. I am so grateful for all the individuals I have met that have not only shaped me into a better performer but a better individual overall. My Quinnipiac experience would not be the same without every single one of you. I can't wait for this upcoming academic year to continue expanding our family and finding a place on campus for those who are looking for a home".
Sarah is looking into the addition of new merchandise and would like to utilize the Redouble account more and make products such as tracksuit warm-ups to wear before shows. Sarah would also like to work on the Fourth Wall website and continue having a star member of the month to highlight the individual successes of our members. Sarah wants to have open communication to plan events and implement any changes the general public seeks fit.
