It was an exciting day on Saturday as approximately 400 guests turned out for the community opening of the Clayton Museum of Ancient History featuring the Stanback collection on the York College campus.

​Special guests at the event included members of Legion Six Victrix, a group of “living historians” based in Los Angeles, Calif. The legion, dressed in Roman military garb, set up a garrison camp with authentic tools and weapons on the field outside of the Mackey Center. They gave demonstrations and talked to museum visitors about life and times of Roman soldiers in AD 122-138, during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian.

York College announced today the success of its community campaign with a final gift total of $2.33 million raised, exceeding the original goal by nearly $150,000.

The community response has been outstanding,” campaign chair C. G. "Kelly" Holthus said. “The volunteers working in this campaign wanted to make a statement to the college about its value to us and I think we've done just that."

Donations have benefited the college's two new facilities, the Clayton Museum of Ancient History and the Bartholomew Performing Arts Center, along with Freeman Center landscaping, the athletic program and the college's Opportunity Scholarship Fund. The Clayton Museum is scheduled to open with much fanfare this Saturday in conjunction with Yorkfest. The performing arts center will open in 2016.

​Sultans, spies, communism and romance all mingle to hilarious effect in the upcoming production of Woody Allen’s classic Don’t Drink the Water, presented by the York College Theatre Department, October 22-25.

In 1974, Don’t Drink the Water was the first play to be performed in Gurganus Hall on the York College campus. The former church building went on to serve as the home for the theatre department for the next 40 years. The current run of Don’t Drink the Water will be the final show in this space, as the Bartholomew Performing Arts Center will open this spring.
