Each semester, the DAN School produces a theatrical work called 'The Majors.’ All Queen's students are allowed to audition to be part of the cast or apply to be part of the crew. Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester; information can be found on the Auditions page in the Current Students section. The Drama Majors has a long history at Queen’s, and the list of past productions can be found below.
The 2024 Fall Major will be The Other Shore by Gao Xingjian and directed by Craig Walker
The 2025 Winter Major will be Love and Information by Caryl Churchill and directed by Michael Wheeler
