Going Public: "Keeping Live Theatre Alive" Fundraising Initiative Supports SEMO Students

Southeast Missouri State University's River Campus.
Southeast Missouri State University

The Jeanine Larson Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance at Southeast hasn't slowed down during the pandemic. They are still performing, although to smaller crowds to follow CDC guidelines, and are planning for the Lanford Wilson New American Play Festival next summer. In addition, they have launched a fundraising intiative called "Keeping Live Theatre Alive" which features videos of some of the biggest stars of stage and screen performing a piece that they wrote.

Dan Woods spoke with Dr. Kenn Stilson, chair of the Conservatory and Kitt Lavoie, Assistant Professor of Theatre - Acting and Directing. 

Dan is a 1994 graduate of Southeast Missouri State University. He majored in radio and minored in political science. He spent three of his four years at Southeast working as a student announcer at KRCU – the beginning of his radio career.
