The faculty and students of the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre would like to thank Daniel and Marie Messina for their generous support for our costumes. The Messinas have endowed a fund to underwrite the creation of the wonderful costumes for all our theatre productions. It is always gratifying when our work is recognized and we, in turn, want to recognize the Messinas, who make it possible for the work to continue and flourish.
