The >>> Gatsby
An engineering twist on a classic, McMaster Engineering Musical proudly presents its 28th production, The Greater Than Gatsby.
​
Step into the high-pressure world of McMaster Engineering as ambitious and anxious first-year Nate Flax struggles to find his place. Pulled into the orbit of infamous upper years like his mysterious neighbour Gatsby and his cousin and co-lead, Nate becomes entangled in a web of status, expectations, and half-truths. As lines blur between fact and fiction and right and wrong, Nate must confront his own values while navigating the overwhelming reality of first year engineering. Will he have what it takes to survive the year? Will he and those around him learn to stand up for themselves and do what’s right?
​
Find out with us, as we witness the chaotic, overwhelming, and endearing experience that is finding yourself in McMaster Engineering in The >>> Gatsby.
25+ Years of Music
Each year, a group of ambitious engineering students get together to put on a showstopping spectacle of music, visual art, and technical expertise. Complete with a full band and unique interpretations of popular songs, the performance is an annual tradition in McMaster Engineering.
​
In September, the Executive team begins their process to recruit members to join the extravaganza. The show is entirely student-run! Week by week, members work on creating the joke-filled script, arranging and practicing the score, building larger-than-life sets and props, and singing and dancing their hearts out. Every week, with the promise of performance drawing closer, members create an exceptional piece of art, while forming bonds that will last a lifetime.
This year's production will be March 12-14, 2026.
