The Carroll Players is the first active student theater organization in Wisconsin, founded in 1896 when professor May Nickell Rankin directed a group of students in a production of Richelieu as part of Commencement weekend activities. The group furthers the artistic, academic and educational concerns of the Theatre Arts program, recognizes outstanding alumni and encourages fellowship and growth among members through social and educational activities.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE? YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE, BABY! 🐅🤘

Welcome back to WHAT TO WEAR WEDNESDAY, where we offer some 80s-tastic fashion advice straight from the Sunset Strip!

Today, it's all about the animal print. Cheetah or Leopard are ideal patterns, but zebra could also turn some hairspray-soaked heads as you strut your way down the strip. The goal is for your fashion to show how much of a PARTY ANIMAL you are! 🎸

Want to see this fashion in action? Get your tickets to Carroll University's production of ROCK OF AGES! Tickets are available NOW and can be purchased at carroll-players.com ✨

HEAVEN ISN'T TOO FAR AWAY! 🎸🤘

After signing with Columbia Records, the smashingly successful band WARRANT recorded their hit album "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich," which contained the chart topper, HEAVEN! They are also known for other hits such as CHERRY PIE, DOWN BOYS, and SOMETIMES SHE CRIES.

Gen X'ers are sure to get their fill of nostalgia in this show! HEAVEN is just the tip of the iceberg of 80s hits that this show contains. Come see for yourself! Tickets are ON SALE NOW and can be purchased at carroll-players.com ✨
