The Department of Theatre Arts held an all-theater reunion October 22–24 to celebrate the successful end of the campaign to renovate Dillingham Center.

“What struck me about the weekend was the universal spirit of generosity — alumni giving to the students in terms of dedicating rooms and spaces, showing their support in that way, also their fantastic moral, psychic, and artistic support at Saturday’s performance,” said Greg Bostwick, professor of theater arts and director of Chicago. “And the current students were incredibly generous with the alumni — not only the performers in the show, but those helping out with the reunion, guiding tours, and so forth. It was a real weekend of giving.” Read more about the weekend on page 19.

Construction of or renovations to the following spaces were made possible by generous gifts from alumni, parents, and friends.
