No Shame Theatre was established in September 1986 by Stan Ruth, Todd Ristau, and Jeff Goode as an alternative vehicle for both young actors and writers to experiment with their craft. The company originally performed in the bed of a pickup truck parked in the parking lot immediately west of the Theatre Building. No Shame has now become an accepted institution within the Theatre Arts Department and performs each Friday evening at 11 p.m.. while university classes are in session. There is no charage for their weekly performances.
