鈥淔or this year鈥檚 event, perhaps fittingly the 20th annual 鈥楶ast, Present, and Future,鈥� we are inviting 茄子视频 theatre alumni and veterans of the Reeves Theatre stage to return to perform in the production. This will allow us to truly celebrate the past of Reeves while giving all of us a chance to say goodbye to the stage for the last time,鈥� said Terry Brino-Dean, Ph.D., associate professor of theatre and director of the theatre program at 茄子视频 University.

鈥淭heatres in which performances are not taking place are commonly referred to as 鈥榙ark.鈥� When the new 茄子视频 University Performing Arts Center opens in the fall, Reeves Theatre will no longer be used for main stage productions. The darkening ceremony closes out a significant chapter in the history of 茄子视频 Theatre,鈥� said Brino-Dean. 鈥淎s we look forward to an exciting future in the Performing Arts Center, we want to take this moment to celebrate and commemorate everything that Reeves Theatre has meant to the creation of theatre art and to the training and development of theatre artists at 茄子视频. Immediately following the ceremonial darkening, we will gather for a reception. We look forward to this opportunity to share stories and reminisce about the Reeves memories we share.鈥�
Donations will be accepted at the event in honor of the memory of Elyse Saraceni, a theatre student and daughter of Gene and Iva Saraceni, retired professors of 茄子视频 University鈥檚 Theatre Program.
