This fun event invites Theatre alumni to perform alongside current theatre students on the Peters Theater stage! All participants should meet in Brown Hall at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 29, to be assigned a play script, a role and to meet their castmates. From there, it is left up to the groups to plan and prepare to present the play as a staged reading (with scripts in hand) on Saturday evening at 7 p.m.   

After the performances we will celebrate together with a pizza party in the theater lobby. We ask alumni participants to contribute $15 to cover a portion of the script royalties and the meal. 

The Saturday evening performances are open to the general public. No admission fee will be required, but contributions to the Jewell Theatre fund are welcome and appreciated.
