UNO Alumni Event
Attendee Spotlight
|
Names:
Ed (MA, 1968) and Judy (BA, 1981; MS, 1984) Stribley.
Favorite UNO Alumni Event:
Shakespeare on the Green
Number of times attended:
"We attended the first year, 25 years ago," Judy says. "We have attended every year [since], except I missed one year and Ed missed two years."
Favorite memory:
"Perhaps the best memories are simply being able to sit out in the park during summer evenings and watch all of the great performances over the years. It was fun to bring a picnic and enjoy the ambience! Now it is much easier for us to enjoy the indoor picnic, listen to a synopsis of the play and meet new faces and share old memories."

| 2011 Shakespeare on the Green Picnic & Play |
Nearly 140 alumni and guests gathered July 8 for the UNO Alumni Association's annual Shakespeare on the Green Picnic & Play, taking in a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" during the series' 25th anniversary season.
The annual event featured dinner at the Thompson Center followed by a "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on The Green. Guests enjoyed a picnic buffet inside the Thompson Center, a reserved spot “down front” at the play, reserved parking near the Green.
Nebraska Shakespeare Festival Artistic Director Alan Klem and Assistant Artistic Director Sarah Carlson-Brown gave alumni guests a special performance preview. Carlson-Brown, a UNO alum, played the role of Helena in the production this year and performed some of her lines prior to the picnic.
