Gallery: Theatre students remember Bleakney with Shakespeare show

September 23, 2019 by Riley Fisher

Members of ACU’s chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, the national theatre honor society, performed in a night of Shakespeare scenes on Sunday in honor of Lance Bleakney, a recent alumnus of the Department of Theatre who took his own life in May. All proceeds from the event benefited the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
