Founded in 1901 by Thomas Crosby, a professor in the university`s English department, it has maintained an unbroken string of performance seasons since being established. Originally founded as an all-male organization, Sock and Buskin became a co-educational group in 1927 when it merged with an all-female theatre troupe from nearby Pembroke College. Sock and Buskin performances are currently held in the Catherine Bryan Dill Center for the Performing Arts.
