On Friday April 16, 2010 the senior clown class was invited to perform for the residents of the Merrill Gardens in the University Village. The students performed pieces they had been working on all semester, and were excited to have a chance to perform them in front of an audience. The students were invited by Charlie Dillon, the Assistant Activities Director of the Merrill Gardens. Dillon, who is a former Broadway dancer, said the residents don’t often have the opportunity to leave the property, and really loved it when entertainment could be brought to them. Jan Hubert, Theater Department Coordinator, said, “This is a relationship we want to continue and I am hoping to organize more groups of students next fall for musical and theatrical events.”
