As a team, we had a 65% win percentage on the year, had 4 of top 10 novice debaters in the country, accumulated 224 points (no one had ever topped 200 before), and won IPDA Novice Team Sweepstakes. Below is a chronological listing of the tournaments we attended and what we did. University of Arkansas-Monticello Weevil WarsREAD MORE 
Alexander, who's not, not, not, not, not going to move! by David Burke, Professor of Theatre & Director of TheatreThe Union University Players performed Judith Viorst's Alexander, Who's Not, Not, Not, Not, Not, Not Going to Move to over 2500 elementary school students from over 20 schools in the region, including a school from Mississippi. The play, which ran from Nov. 5-8, continues the story of Alexander. After weathering all those comic calamities in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, the loveable and irrepressible Alexander now faces his biggest challenge ever: moving—as he puts it—"a thousand miles away!" Everyone is packing, but NOT Alexander, who can't bear the thought of leaving his best friend Paul...his tree house...his soccer team...his babysitter...and everything else he considers home sweet home in this "hilarious and heartrending" (The Washington Post) musical for the whole family.
The Kennedy Center provides a great study guide for classes who attended the play.... READ MORE
POSTED: Nov 8, 2007 - Theatre Congratulations to senior Matt Stimmell, who received a number to go to the Southeast Theatre Conference Auditions this spring. There were few audition slots this year, and many schools did not get to audition at all. Six Union students were able to audition.
The 40th Annual Tennessee Theatre Conference was a great success, and a number of our students were able to participate in the workshops and discussions. And mark your calendars for the 59th Annual SETC Convention, which will be in Chattanooga, March 5-9, 2008.
