Eva Markvoort: A celebration of her life

Join the Department of Theatre on Sept. 26 for a celebration of the inspiring—but too brief—life of Eva Markvoort (BFA '10). A student in the theatre acting program, Eva succumbed to a life-long battle with cystic fibrosis on March 27. Her internationally followed blog 65_RedRoses chronicled her experiences with the disease and advocated support for cystic fibrosis and the importance of organ donation. All are welcome to join friends, family and faculty at the Phoenix Theatre to pay homage to Eva's indomitable spirit. At 1:30 p.m., a special screening of "65_Redroses: Every breath counts," the award-winning documentary about Eva's life, will be followed by a reception at 2:45 and a celebration of her life at 3:15.
