About Us

iNtuitons Experimental Theatre is the University of Pennsylvania's only student-run experimental theatre group. Founded in 1980, iNtuitons' comes from two words: intuition and automaton. It was chartered to "attract people with diverse artistic interests and in order to provide an outlet for creative people whose ideas are too Classical or Avant-Garde to be supported by existing groups." iNtuitons has presented works by Vaclav Havel, Sam Shepard, Joseph Conrad, and Milan Kundera, as well as many student written pieces.

Past experiments include collaborating with Stimulus Children's Theater to re-create Lewis Carroll's Wonderland, in which the audience members themselves played Alice; metamorphosizing Mary Zimmerman's rendition of Ovid's "Metamorphoses" into a technical spectacular; and defenestrating naughty audience members with an updated version of Dario Fo's "Accidental Death of an Anarchist."
