A Half Century Of Curtain Calls: Reflections on First Pres Theater's 50th Anniversary

First Presbyterian Theater is formally celebrating its 50th anniversary with a special evening of activities that takes place this Saturday.

Besides a dinner and silent auction, guests will be able to share in a look back at some of the theater's "best of the best" moments, and a remembrance of those now departed, who helped establish the group's foundation over the decades.

Here's a small sampling of the photos from the theater's digital Photo Archive:
