University Theatre

In Memorium: Horace Robinson 1909-2009

This Saturday, October 24 at 4pm a memorial service will be held in the Robinson theatre to honor the life of Horace Robinson.

“Robinson was the namesake of the University of Oregon’s Robinson Theatre and had been its guiding light since it was built in 1949. He remained closely connected to the building and the UO theater program and was a main consultant in the expansion and remodeling of the Robinson Theatre that was completed last year.

To many people in the local theater community, Robinson was a giant. He taught, he directed, he produced, he took on projects large and small and inspired generations of students to pursue their dreams in professional and community theater.” -Greg Bolt, Register Guard
