Attention All Graduated Theatre Majors!!!

Have you ever wondered what happened to your fellow classmates? Chances are they wonder where you are too. Don't be shy--send us your update. We can't know about you and your credits unless you yourself send us an update.

To send an update just:

• Prepare an email with your (1) Name (2) Email Address (3) Graduation Year
• Give us a short description (25-50 words) of what you are doing now
• Enter a subject line of "Theatre Alumni Update"
• Send the email or Alumni Info Sheet to mjohnson31@una.edu

We will edit where necessary. And please be patient---it is difficult to update the site more than once a semester while teaching and directing our current students.

Only those responding will be included---so don't be left out.

Hear what alumni are saying about UNA's Theatre program (2016 Theatre Reunion)
