The amphitheater hosted commencement ceremonies from the 1930s until 1958, and Mary Washington\u2019s unique Devil-Goat Day through the 1970s, in addition to May Day celebrations, numerous concerts and theater productions. And, on nice days, some professors have been known to relocate their classes to that area.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74051\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74051\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"74051\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/amphitheater-rendering-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1712,776\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1384793821&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Amphitheater Rendering 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;A rendering by Train &amp;amp; Partners Architects shows what the amphitheater might look like after renovation.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-1-300x136.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-1-1024x464.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-74051\" alt=\"A rendering by Train &amp; Partners Architects shows what the amphitheater might look like after renovation.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-1-300x135.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-74051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rendering by Train &amp; Partners Architects shows what the amphitheater might look like after renovation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 1997, the Board of Visitors allocated $40,000 to make the area safe, but not to modernize it. In recent years, the amphitheater has fallen into disrepair, yet it remains a cherished part of campus. Consultants recently examined the site, and concluded that the amphitheater must be restored now or it could be lost forever. They estimate the restoration to cost $3 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents continue to enjoy the amphitheater, even in its current state, and they also care about preserving the history behind it,\u201d said President Richard V. Hurley. \u201cI am absolutely thrilled that Bob and Alice Jepson have agreed to help support this important restoration initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The restoration would return the amphitheater to its 1952-1953 appearance by repairing and reconstructing damaged and missing pieces. It would provide seating for approximately 600 people on weather-resilient benches and chairs while incorporating accommodations for ADA accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get back to see all the things that have happened since I was there and to take time to walk through the amphitheater,\u201d said Alice Jepson. \u201cWhen President Hurley told us that students still love the amphitheater, we decided our money would be well invested in helping to restore this area of campus that holds so many special memories for alumni and students alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_74061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-74061\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"74061\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/amphitheater-rendering-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/02\/Amphitheater-Rendering-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1077\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Amphitheater Rendering 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The restoration would return the amphitheater to its 1952-1953 appearance.
