“About two years ago, the C-U Collective was trying to do something like this. We started out doing a bunch of benefit shows to help raise money, and the goal just seemed to get further and further away because we had to keep paying to get shows booked, paying the venues, paying the bands. It just died off because people were too busy to do it all,” Landolt explained.

“So after that died off, and I thought about it extensively,” he added. “I thought that it would be a really good idea to still do the venue, because that was what the Collective originally wanted to do.”

Tomb Raider is a reboot of the classic game franchise that began on the PlayStation. This is the second reboot of the series. A previous reboot series was released during the transition to the current system of consoles.

Parkland English Professor Thomas Schnarre uses theatre to encourage their involvement in educational activities outside of the classroom.

Schnarre first discovered theatre in the third grade while participating in an extra credit assignment. He seeks to share that discovery with students by the same method.
