The first production of the University of Mississi

The first production of the University of Mississippi Department of Theatre and Film‘s Spring 2023 season, which closed on Sunday, also marks the first time the department has hosted a visiting artist on an Achieving Equity grant from the University’s Division of Diversity and Community Engagement. Beth Reeves, who teaches theatre at Columbus State University, was the guest director for "Polaroid Stories," which tells Greek myths through stories of youth. The guest director position, designed for an early-career Black, Indigenous or person of color, or BIPOC, director and teacher, was conceived by Pria Wood, instructional assistant professor of theatre arts, who received an Achieving Equity grant for the position in spring 2022.

McCormick’s bar and grill @theinnatolemiss recei

McCormick’s bar and grill @theinnatolemiss received the finishing touch recently with the installation of a bar top handcrafted by alumnus Ben Napier @scotsman.co (BA @um_historydept 07), star of @hgtv’s “Home Town.”

“Kirk Purdom (executive director @olemissalumniassociation) reached out to me directly (about designing the bar top),” Napier said. “He knew @olemiss is a special place to (wife) Erin @erinapier and me. We got engaged @squarebooks, got married at Paris-Yates Chapel and spent our wedding night at the inn.

“With me being a woodworker who actually learned my craft @umartdept, Kirk knew I’d jump at this opportunity.”
