A tradition dating back to 1919, College Night at the University of Montevallo (UM) is a popular homecoming tradition, bringing in crowds across the state. Throughout the fall semester, students will participate in intramural sports and activities to earn points for their respective teams–the gold team or the purple team–UM’s colors. On the first day of the spring semester, students will begin creating one-act musicals to perform during homecoming week–in which the productions are entirely student-produced. Judges will vote on their favorite musicals, crowning either the purple team or the gold team as that year’s victor. For more details or to purchase show tickets, click here.
