Series funding
All performances from the Black & Gold Performing Arts Series are funded by the WSC Foundation through the Jeanne Gardner Black & Gold Performing Arts Endowment. Jeanne Gardner, class of 1967, was a dear friend, benefactor, and alumna of Wayne State College. She was a champion of the arts, involved in theater at many levels, and the endowment honors the legacy Gardner left at Wayne State and in Northeast Nebraska.
