  • Wait, the title says 2000, but the description box says '92. Explain?

  • @supersingerevan The '92 is the NAME of the theater. It was built in 1892. The year is 2000.

  • @usnavi hactually, the Patricelli '92 Theater was originally called Rich Hall and was the University's first stand-alone library building, and its construction was completed in 1868. In 1930, after construction was completed on the new Olin Library, the class of 1892 donated money to have Rich Hall converted into a theater, which is why it is the '92. I think you went to Wes a few years before the "Patricelli" was tacked on as a result of another donation. And here ends the Weshistory. -2ndstage

  • A black box theatre at a university where there's so many people they have to sit on the floor? THAT'S how it's done. Showing that dreamy dreams can come true.
