The Greenhouse Oral History Project

During the Homecoming performances, members of Professor Watkins’ “Southern LGBTQ+ Theatre Research” class will be collecting oral histories from alumni attending The Greenhouse to put into Special Collections and make available for future researchers. We welcome memories from any time in our shared William & Mary past and encourage any previous and current LGBTQ+ students to share a story about their time here. We know Homecoming weekend is busy, so a single story or a few minutes is all it takes. We will have student volunteers available before and after the show to assist in collecting your story.

If you will be unable to attend the show but would still like to contribute a story:

Call Professor Watkins’ on 757-221-3953 and leave a message with the story or instructions to call you back. Please also leave your email address because there is a form that needs to be signed so that your story can be put in Special Collections. You can also record a voice memo and email it to Dr. Watkins at jwatkins@wm.edu.
