Simply put, LATENITE THEATRE is a Columbia University performing arts group that produces an anthology of short student-written plays every semester, with a reputation for general chaos and irreverence. In the past few years we’ve grown immensely and our performances always prove to be a ton of fun for everyone involved, both audience and actors.

But, if you’re interested in the more detail history, LATENITE THEATRE was created in 1995 by a group of Theatre and English majors who wanted to produce their own original works. They offered their innovative theatrical fare after other events on campus were over – hence the name LateNite Theatre. Fourteen years later, Latenite continues to evolve while maintaining its commitment to the student playwright. We have a simple purpose: to offer our playwrights the opportunity to see their work on stage, giving them freedom to experiment, take artistic risks, and above all, have fun in a non-competitive and artistic environment.

Latenite’s current fearless leaders are:
Dan Aprahamian (SEAS ’12) and Jessie Cohen (BC ’13)
