Alumni Now

Alumni Night at the Theatre

This year’s Alumni Night at the Theatre celebration got off to a rough start thanks to a massive snowstorm that forced the cancellation of the Feb. 24 performance of Blithe Spirit. Fortunately, it was rescheduled for Feb. 26, and most of the alumni who had registered were able to attend.

A historic moment occurred at the reception following the performance, when two cast members from Viterbo’s first production of Blithe Spirit in 1958, which was directed by Sr. Marie Leon La Croix in the old Murphy Center gym, were able to meet their counterparts from the current production.
