ACU Theatre welcomed alumni by hosting the Homecoming Musical, Matilda, this weekend. This was the first musical at the newly renovated Boone Family Theatre after the extensive renovations, which caused last year’s musical to be hosted at the Abilene Convention Center. The department brought to life the beloved characters and storyline of the iconic musical by Roald Dahl.
