Today we pay our respects to former Costume Designer at the Strayer-Wood Theatre, Monabelle McKinley Hake. She passed away February 14th, and was laid to rest in Seattle. The full obituary states that she was 105 years old.... 105! And, that she spent 14 years working in the Strayer-Wood Theatre Costume Shop.
We encourage you to share any stories or memories you may have of working with her at UNI, and we wish her family peace at this difficult time.
Welcome to the blog home for Strayer-Wood Theatre, the home of the Department of Theatre on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa. Come see what we're up to!

We also had a great write up in the WCF Courier. Read the review here!
We'll leave you with a quick teaser of our work so far on Urinetown - we can't help but make theatre magic!
