To kick-off the 2006-07 University Theatre season, the Department of Theatre and Film faculty, staff, and students (plus a few friends) will be involved in this soon-to-be annual variety show and fundraiser. There will be a little bit of everything from singing and dancing to monologues, magic acts, and stand-up comedy. Money raised this year wil support our students' international performance of The Snow Queen at the Lithuanian National Theatre in December.
