Description

Yes, we know we belong to a place where you can meet old friends, revisit memories and support your network. The 2015 Ball State Theatre and Dance Alumni Awards Dinner and Reunion Weekend is coming this March – and you don’t want to miss it. This rousing weekend sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Dance, and the Theatre and Dance Alumni Society, will prove to be one of our best gatherings yet. Highlights include inspiring workshops hosted by our current faculty and students; an awards dinner honoring fellow alumni Eric Emery, ’94, and Dee Dee Batteast ’07; faculty members Gilbert Bloom, Kip and Carma Shawger, and longtime department supporters, the Schisla Family; and finally a stunning production of Oklahoma! featuring talented students and directed by Karen Kessler. Whatever your passion has become, we all share a deep connection to the department and people that is impossible to forget. Be a part of this enriching experience. Relive, reconnect and renew…and you’ll be sayin’ you’re doin’ more than fine Ball State Theatre!
