You may have seen people in pink sweatshirts with Greek letters around campus this past week—that is because those people were involved in Hillel Theater Group’s production of Legally Blonde, which premiered on Thursday night in the Shapiro Campus Center Theater. The line to get into the theater snaked from its doors across the SCC Atrium a whole half hour before the play started.
