College Night

History

  College Night is an 88-year tradition at Montevallo, and no other school has anything quite like it. The first performance in 1919 featured “college stunts” from each of the four classes. Within three years the event had become a contest between Purple and Gold teams.

Early College Nights included from each side a toast, a “pep song, "a slow song, a stunt and an impersonation, interspersed with cheers and music. Performances were staged in the dining hall until 1927, then in Reynolds Hall until 1930, when College Night moved to the new Palmer Auditorium. In 1950 students and faculty decided that each side should stage a single production, incorporating drama, comedy, music and dance.

College Night productions are original from the ground up. Scripts, music, sets and costumes are all created by students, and students direct, conduct and perform the final product.
