2015 Jun 2

Maggie Hunter has been selected into membership of Alpha Psi Omega theatre honor society at William Woods University.

Throughout the country, Alpha Psi Omega has sponsored the formation for theatre honor societies in high schools and colleges, with the aim of encouraging dramatic production at every step in a person's academic career and to recognize and reward exemplary student participation in those productions.

Alpha Psi Omega has enjoyed continuous national growth and, with over 600 casts, is the largest national honor society in America. Colleges and universities of recognized standing, having an established theatre program or theatre club for the purpose of producing plays are eligible.

Throughout the history of the world, theatre has held an integral position in the physical, spiritual, social, psychological and emotional development of society. Theatre has enabled cultures and societies to express their inner most thoughts, feelings, ideas, values and struggles.

Theatre has mirrored society, fueled public opinion, been used as a teaching tool, offered a place for the expression of ideas, fired the imagination and been a source of healing, spirituality and entertainment. In other words, theatre has always challenged humankind to push the boundaries of insight and perception and has helped to build individual and cultural diversity.
