Student-produced, student-directed, and student-acted theater. Williams' student theater guild. Oldest continuously running student-run college theater group in the country. It produces 6-7 shows a year and encourages students who want to direct to propose plays at the beginning of the fall semester. Productions are typically held in the Centerstage and AMT of the '62 Center and ocassionally in the Currier Ballroom, though with the construction of the new Student Center, Cap and Bells is likely to get its own perfomance space. Productions are entirely student-run, and Cap and Bells is always looking for techies, actors, and stage managers.

However, if one is to then navigate to their "History" page, one will see the following quote:"After a brief period of <b><i>dormancy</i></b> during World War I, the club reorganized under the name of the Mask and Bauble Dramatic Society" (emphasis added), thereby demonstrating that Mask and Bauble has not operated continuously since before World War I. Cap & Bells, however, continued to operate during the Great War, thereby making <i>it</i> the longest continuously running student theatre group.
