To date, the Friends of the Theatre have sold 55 seats in a fundraising effort to buy 400 new seats for the theatre in Main Hall.  Theatre seats have been named in memory or in honor of someone.

Donors and friends attended the April 19^th affinity group event – dinner/show of Oklahoma, and there was an unveiling of named theatre seats plates in Main Hall with a champagne toast by Co-Chair Lisa DeRespino Bennett '85 and a speech by  Gary Sullivan, director and department chair of the Theatre department.  Poster boards will be displayed inviting theatre goers to name a seat, as well as playbill inserts at all shows. 

 

Lisa DeRespino '85 Bennett toasts the crowd at the April 2007 Dinner and a Show Oklahoma thanking those who have contributed to the Theatre Seat Campaign.
