Kelsey Theatre History

I have reconstructed our seasons as best I could. If you have a list of shows from missing years, or were in a show and know the year please email me at getlikk@mccc.edu so I can add them. Thank you.

I know we also had special guest speakers including Geoffrey Holder and William Shatner prior to 1978. And a wonderful performance from Jonathan Frid of Dark Shadows.
