Making a big statement is part of Gonzaga's legacy. In 1896, in conjunction with the school's 75th Diamond Jubilee, the beautiful new "Gonzaga College Hall" opened. Building a majestic theater demonstrated the importance the Jesuits placed on the dramatic arts, and showed Gonzaga was committed to the growing Swampoodle neighborhood.

Almost exactly 125 years later, Gonzaga's Sheehy Theater continues that great legacy of  producing "performers for others."  As we celebrate Gonzaga's Bicentennial, it's hard to imagine a physical structure being more associated with fond memories. 

Episode 5 features a GDA focused conversation with 3 GDA Hall of Fame members: Allan L'Etoile '73, Roger Schlegel '83, and Paul Buckley '86. The memorable moments, the perfect performances, and even the magical mistakes that celebrate the special community within the Gonzaga community that is the Gonzaga Dramatic Association. At the end of Part 1 of this conversation catch a bonus chat with current GDA seniors James Miller '22 and John Jerro '22.

Next week in part 2, we cover the lessons and legacy of John Warman, '57, and Brother Jon King. And how recent additions of some exceptionally talented women have raised the bar for today's GDA student experience.
