Our primary forum for these activities is the Texts in Performance Series. Each long semester the series spotlights work from the Performance Studies emphasis within the Department of Communication Studies, as well as other creative projects that fall within the "performance" genre. PIGs also travel around the nation to festivals and conferences, representing the University and the Department.

Each November, the PIGs serve as hosts for the Petit Jean Performance Festival. A national performance festival, Petit Jean attracts participants from colleges and universities from across the nation. Participants present individual and group performances and, over the two days of the festival, participate in a small group to create a performance for presentation to all festival participants.
