'''Columbian University Performing Arts League''' (CUPAL) is an umbrella organization for participating [[:Category:Performance clubs|performing arts groups]] at [[Columbia University|Columbia]] and [[Barnard]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
CUPAL was formed in [[2000]] by students [[Natalie Robin]] and [[Stacey McMath]], who at the time were on the executive boards of [[KCST]] and [[Late Nite Theatre]], respectively. They formed CUPAL as a way of increasing communication among campus performing arts groups.<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
CUPAL aims to foster a closer performing arts community at Columbia, where individual groups are known to be somewhat insular. This is done by facilitating intergroup communication and collaboration, which includes sharing of resources and a united front for dealing with administration.<br />
<br />
=== Special Project ===<br />
At least once per semester, CUPAL sponsors a "special project", an original production which is not tied to any established performing arts group.<br />
<br />
=== Showcase ===<br />
CUPAL holds an annual showcase in which all of its member groups contribute to a single production in order to expand the audience of each participating group.<br />
<br />
== Member groups ==<br />
Any performing arts group can apply for membership to CUPAL. The current members are:<br />
*[[Columbia University Players (CU PLayers)]]<br />
*[[Black Theatre Ensemble|Black Theatre Ensemble (BTE)]]<br />
*[[Columbia Musical Theatre Society|Columbia Musical Theatre Society (CMTS)]]<br />
*[[King's Crown Shakespeare Troupe|King's Crown Shakespeare Troupe (KCST)]]<br />
