Join us as we celebrate the incredible career of Josie Poppen, a treasured member of the Drake Theatre Arts Department and the theatre community at-large who has inspired countless students over the years!

After 37 years of teaching, Josie is laying down her shears and stepping into a well-deserved retirement. Let’s come together to honor her incredible contributions and share stories, laughter, and raise a glass! Please feel free to invite alumni, friends, family and anyone who wishes to celebrate!
