Lovers & Madmen is a student theater group at Northwestern University that seeks to provide our Northwestern community with theatrical productions. Our scope extends to plays of a classical (that is, pre-20th century) or classically inspired nature: there are thousands of years worth of quality material out there; they're not called classics for nothing.

Though plays are our centerpiece, we aren't simply a vehicle for production: L&M plays an active role in developing and supporting additional programming, both on campus and in our local community, that supplements our productions and increases general interest in and understanding of classical literature.

L&M is a member of the Northwestern Student Theatre Coalition, a collection of student theatre companies formed to better represent the interests of student theatre on campus. We currently hold A-status recognition within the Associated Student Government. Further information about StuCo may be found on the StuCo wiki.

We maintain a stock of standard (4x8) platforms and flats, as well as a large assortment of costumes and props, both period and otherwise, available for rental. Inquiries regarding use of L&M stock should be directed at the Inventory Manager.
