A huge thank you to SMU Meadows Theatre alumnus Brian Baumgartner (B.F.A. ’95) for visiting our campus yesterday! Beloved for his role as Kevin Malone in "The Office," Brian is an outstanding inspiration for young creatives, especially our students here at Meadows. Once a Mustang, always a Mustang!

Still thinking about "To Kill a Mockingbird," our recent SMU Theatre production! Take a look at a few more rehearsal moments, including some behind-the-scenes glimpses. It's wonderful to see all the hard work that went into bringing this story to life. A big thank-you to everyone who made it happen!

We at Meadows are mourning the terrible loss of two recent SMU Theatre graduates, Madi Duren (B.F.A. '26) and Julian Harris (B.F.A. '25), who were loved and admired by the Meadows community and beyond. They were not only talented performers with bright futures but were also beloved by their friends and colleagues.

Thank you to KERA News and the Fort Worth Report for sharing stories of Madi and Julian. Our hearts are with their families and loved ones.
