March 16, 2017
Posted at 00:00h in News by

The performance season of yet another star-studded year came to an end last Saturday in Henderson Theater. Finishing up a seven-show run (which included a special sensory-friendly performance), “The Music Man” was met with rave reviews, stirring applause, and yet another shining moment for the cast and crew of Pegasus Production Company.

The completely student-run Company once again has given students a chance to step out of their comfort zone, grow in confidence, and become a part of a Company family and tradition.

With the conclusion of perfomances comes the beginning of awards season, and the highly-coveted “Pony Awards” held on campus. All are welcome to attend this red carpet event, which will feature cast & crew interviews, student-chosen award winners, and special performances of all kinds.
