NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.-- Dazzling performances continue to be cranked out at Westminster's Beeghly Theatre. Theater major, minors and anyone else interested in the stage can participate. But, most people are unaware that the Theatre Westminster wasn't always a set program.

In the time of 1920's Westminster, one could participate in various theater activities but never actually pick up a major in it. Hear from former campus historian and alumni Paul Gamble about what attending Westminster was like at this time and what participating in theater was like.

Hear about the current theater faculty sparking interest with today's students as well as campus archivist Dewey Dewitt as he describes the work and performances of the early theater.
