The SM East theater department announced its 2025-26 season at its annual banquet on May 17. The upcoming season includes the Musical Revue theme as “The Best of Broadway,” the Fall Musical “Bye Bye Birdie” and the Winter Play “Silent, but Deadly.”

Rogers committed to Augustana University for what the National Collegiate Athletics Association refers to as a newcoming sport— acrobatics and tumbling. Currently, only 50 NCAA colleges offer this program in all divisions.
