2010-2011
While the 2010-2011 season is not yet over, it has already proven to be a pretty damn successful year for CAP. Comic Relief brought a lot of great new talent into CAP, as well as bringing people in from various improv groups and Cabaret all into one show. Colin Gallo showed off his technical ingenuity during Dice House and Bat Boy to make special effects only comparable to the ones used in Avatar. And speaking of Bat Boy, it was incredibly successful! Being a bigger production than CAP's been used to, it brought in some sizable crowds, as well as some very good reviews from the audience. There was also Batboy/girl/boy/boy/girl/boy/girl/girl/boy.

2007-2008
The 2007-2008 CAP season began rehearsals in September of 2007. It was a year that CAP continued to branch out and develop into its own as Rutgers' most innovative college theater groups as opposed to just the one that seems "the least gay". It began with a Comic Relief directed in part by a man in a different state, segued into a play that had to be changed because there were no directors at all, and then followed that up with an honest to goodness musical. And that was just the fall season! However, while CAP was breaking new ground with student-written shows and truly interesting and challenging plays, the group didn't lose its identity as dinosaur costumes and dildos remained in heavy rotation. Yet, things are definitely changing. How could they not be? Wacky Hijinks, of all things, won motherfucking Best Show! It was also, coincidentally, the first year that 7/8 of the cast of Hijinks was on the board, but that's another story.

2006-2007
The 2006-2007 CAP season has ended. The year began with CAP members getting nostalgic with an Involvement Fair theme of old Nickelodeon game shows. After that, the rest of the season was spent looking to the future as CAP branched out with musical numbers and some serious drama. With those very successful shows, CAP showed they could do anything, but with the rest the group proved they hadn't forgotten their roots by performing some comedy classics and a newer comedy so dark it had some "typical theater audiences" running out during intermission. Oh yeah, and the cops came.

2004-2005
The 2004-2005 CAP season started rehearsals in September 2004. This season was notable for the introduction of a new lighting system, and for CAP becoming a greater and more integral part of the Rutgers College Community. This was the first season in which the club enjoyed a welcome place in the hearts of University Administrators, especially after the trouble of the last few seasons. This was also the first complete season in a number of years, with six shows and a number of side-projects being produced.

The Dark Ages
In the dark ages there were massive quantites of booze, sex, drugs, and bad theater. It was just like CAP now, I'm sure, only better. Because kids today don't know crap.
In the Dark Ages everyone would punch holes in the ceiling of 201 East Avenue while listening to Weezer. God damn, that was so late 90s.
Before September 11 you could dress up like an arab with a machine gun and walk into Scott Hall and nobody would bat an eye.
In the Dark Ages we played Nintendo 64 and complained that the show dates conflicted with the Subway Series.
In the Dark Ages we did not have cell phones (really!). When someone didn't show up to help hang lights all you could do was call their dorm room or house over and over while cursing into their answering machine.
In the Dark Ages the Cappies were a farce and a travesty. The voting was rife with graft.
In the Dark Ages we had sketches about takeout at the Knight Room. Does that still exist?
In the Dark Ages we wondered how CAP could possible survive after we graduated.
