Abstract
Using photographs housed in the University Archives and Special Collections and the digitized collection of The Torch and The Beacon, I identified the names, dates, and venues of each production. In my presentation I focus on three specific venues (i.e., the University Chapel Auditorium, Kroencke Hall, and the Memorial Opera House) and explore how the way in which these venues were utilized changed as theatre at the University developed from the 1940s to the 1980s.
