The annual 24 Hour Musical, hosted by Alpha Psi Omega, made a return to Fulks Theatre in the Williams Performing Arts Center on Sunday evening after a hiatus caused by COVID-19. Students participating in the event learned lines, blocking and music for the hit show “Shrek The Musical” to fundraise for Living Water International, an organization that works to provide clean water around the world, in just 24 hours.
