Leach Theatre's 25th anniversary
For 25 years, Leach Theatre has hosted Broadway shows, orchestra concerts, comedy acts, universitywide addresses, and film festivals — even events like freshman chemistry safety classes. The theater has touched many lives throughout its history but its No. 1 priority has always been to serve the students of Missouri S&T.
Named after 1920 mining engineering graduate Thomas Leach and his wife, Frances, the 650-seat theater is located in Castleman Hall and hosts dozens of professional events throughout the year. The annual list of shows are varied to appeal to as many people as possible. Past performances have ranged fromMomma Mia! and STOMP to concerts by Arlo Guthrie and the Celtic Tenors.
In 2016, the marketing and communications office parterned with Leach Theatre to celebrate their 25th anniversary by producing several celebratory pieces including an anniversary mark, building banners hung near the entrance of Castleman Hall, campus light-pole banners, billboards and mailers.
