Straw Hat Players Enters 45th Season
MSUM Alums Return for Reunion and Tribute to Founder
Minnesota State University Moorhead's The Straw Hat Players celebrates its 45th season of summer repertory theatre beginning in June on the MSUM campus.
A reunion of actors from past seasons will take place June 12 to 14. The reunion will include a showcase production by Straw Hat actors and alumni; family activities; and a banquet and party honoring Delmar J. ("Doc") Hansen, founder of The Straw Hat Players.
Hansen, who died in January, directed more than 300 campus productions and tutored hundreds of students during his 32-year teaching career from 1958 to 1990. Many of his students went on to become professionals in television, stage, business and education.
Straw Hat's 45th season includes five blockbuster musicals and plays, starting with Jesus Christ Superstar June 17-20. Beehive, the '60s Musical, follows June 24 to 27. Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream opens July 8 and continues through July 11. An adult drama, How I Learned to Drive, is set for July 15 to 18, and the final production of the season, Grease, opens July 23 and continues through Aug. 1.
All alumni are invited to attend all events during the reunion.
