History
The history of Hoof 'n' Horn is a long and occasionally sordid affair that stretches back seventy years to the first production in 1936 of a student-written show called The Devil Grins. It's current incarnation puts on three mainstage and one or two smaller productions every, a self-perpetuating production organization. We are currently in the midst of a project to consolidate the history of Hoof 'n' Horn into a single volume so that everyone can know why the rehearsal space is now called "Phred." There are many gaps in our knowledge. For instance, most of our current members have no idea that the Celestial Omnibus was once a part of our organization. Traditions like quarters and Green room are always introduced to new members, but the history behind them is often confusing or innacurrate. Once you know the real story behind something in Hoof 'n' Horn, however, you are part of our inside circle - the circle from which we draw our most dedicated performers and production council members. We want to include more people in this circle, so we will continue our compilation of knowledge and hopefully it will soon be available here. Until then, we have the timeline to the left for your amusement.
The links above allow you to explore the history we have made available online. The 2002 page contains information about the past year of shows as well as our current alumni newsletter. The Past Shows page is a list of all the shows produced by Hoof 'n' Horn throughout our history. The Member Info page is a compilation of current member information. The archives is a hodgepodge of material from the old website and other online sources.
