Thank you for supporting King University Theatre's 2025-2026 season! We began last October with Christopher Slaughter's Twin City Radio Theatre production of ""Weird Tales from Beyond Time and Space" featuring live old time radio favorites "Evening Primrose" and "The Dunwich Horror." Our winter show was Gardner McKay's touching romance, "Sea Marks," directed by junior theatre major Ethan Compton. We just concluded our season with the Dogwood 2026 performance of Jen Silverman's contemporary dark comedy "Witch," directed by Heather Eisenhart. We want to thank everyone that came out and attended our productions this year! Your presence means everything to us! ❤️
