The tradition in the Department of Theatre and Dance is that the closing night of the final show of the year is our annual Awards Night. The department gives out several awards, many of them accompanied by cash awards or tuition remission, to honor student accomplishments throughout the year. On May 2, the closing night for Romeo and Juliet, the department once again presented its awards to our outstanding students. Below is a picture of the winners taken after the ceremony. Congratulations to them all!
