“I’m a singer, I love singing, I love musical theatre, I love drama too. I don’t know if there’s plays going on but I’d definitely like to get involved. Is this a choir here? Ya, I’d totally get involved in that.” - Sarah Vandenberg

Carleton’s campus is comprised of multiple chapters, one being a publication called In/Words that is diving into the school year and Carleton community headfirst this fall.

The Sock ‘n’ Buskin Theatre Company is preparing for a busy upcoming 66th year at Carleton as it pulls together productions of the tragicomedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, the children’s fantasy Peter Pan and the smash-hit off-Broadway musical You’re in Town.
