First Theatre Performances

Groups of faculty and students had, from time to time, formed dramatic clubs and produced plays—the first as early as 1840. In 1875 UT cadets organized a dramatic association that included townspeople in its membership. The first theatrical production was for the benefit of Knoxville’s Industrial Home.
